Subject: [gentoo-amd64] Xorg with nvidia driver problems
Date: Thu, 27 Oct 2005 21:12:53 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <43617B15.4000106@comcast.net> (raw)

I followed the instructions to get the nvidia driver working on my 
system here, but obviously since I am writing, it is giving me problems.
Information below, and thanks in advance for the help.
		Sean

Here is the error when I try to start with the 'nvidia' driver.
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module!
(EE) NVIDIA(0):  *** Aborting ***
(II) UnloadModule: "nvidia"
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

Fatal server error:
no screens found

The module appears to be loaded as shown below.
