Re: [gentoo-amd64] Re: Nvidia problem

Well, now it works :-)

I don't know what fixed it, but my guess is, as Duncan suggested, I
didn't reboot after recompiling the kernel, and before emerging
nvidia. After that sequence, the module loads fine.

Thank you all very much for the tips and taking the time to help. Best regards
