I have an nvidia GeForce 6600 GT chipset that has been running great
in my Gentoo AMD64 system until just recently.
I am running modular Xorg, revision 7.1. I have emerged many times
iprior to recently restarting the X server, so I am not sure when or
with which revisions of xorg-server or nvidia-kernel this problem was
introduced. I seem to be unable to easily back my way out of it using
previous revisions.
The problem is that the X server will no longer start, and the reason
given is the following:
mercury:~> grep "(EE)" Xorg.0.log
(EE) end of block range 0x1fffffff < begin 0xe0000000
(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) No drivers available.
But the nvidia driver is loaded:

I am running a 2.6.16 gentoo kernel:
mercury:~> uname -a

Here are the revisions of the X server and nvidia driver:

mercury ken # equery list | grep nvidia

I have attached the entire Xorg log file below. Any suggestions or
ideas much appreciated.
Thanks.

The current nvidia drivers don't support xorg 7.1 (xorg-server 1.1.*). You can either downgrade xorg-server, or switch to the nv driver (that's what I did). The official nvidia drivers will probably get xorg 7.1 support in the next revision, which should happen RealSoonNow, since the latest Windoze version of the drivers came out a few days ago.

Well, the new ATI drivers have just hit portage and guess what: they
don't support X.org-7.1. Then again nvidia usually manages to do
better than ATI ^^

I've also dropped the nvidia binary driver, though i got direct render
working, because gave me real funny effects on my fonts(dissaperaing
text & such). the nv driver will have to do the trick till the next
nvidia drivers comiple with the new xorg abi(something something)

I'm running a fully ~amd64 environment, using Xorg 7.1 and Nvidia
module, but I had to run
emerge --nodeps nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx
to do so.
It works just fine, with direct rendering: yes and everything else,
but show me a warning every emerge --deep

Ditto to that -
Running ~amd64 with xorg 7.1
then -
# emerge --nodeps nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx
Initially had the font problem, so I set :
Option "RenderAccel" "false" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and also -
cp /usr/lib/libXfont.so.1.4.1 /usr/lib/libXfont.so.1.5
I dont fully grok what the issue is here with fonts and Xfontlib, but
the above hacks combine to fix all my font problems, so I am happy for
now.
Works real well in 2D mode - will do some testing with 3D stuff when
time permits. glxinfo shows Nvidia binaries in use, and glxgears hitting
1900 fps .. which is superficially fine from my point of view.
--------------------
Note on Compositing effects :
tried this:
Option "RenderAccel" "true" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
xcompmgr -c -l -5 -t -5 -o 0.5 &
- Drop shadows / compositing work well in accellerated mode, but font
problem remains.
Option "RenderAccel" "false" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
xcompmgr -c -l -5 -t -5 -o 0.5 &
- Drop shadows / compositing still work, but crawls like a snail. Fonts
look fine. Takes seconds to refresh a text window whilst scrolling ...
eww.
---------------------
So for now, Ill stick with nvidia binaries, 8762, with xorg-7.1, and
renderAccell OFF. Extremely snappy 2D workstation. Going from GDM
login to gnome desktop is lightning fast.
