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.

You need to use nvidia and not nv in your xorg.conf
Also you should check /var/log/Xorg.0.log and dmesg for more clues

It's a problem between the 2.6.13 kernel's changes to udev and the nvidia
kernel module.

Thread from another user who experienced the problem.

http://www.usenetlinux.com/archive/topic.php/t-495527.html


The bug on it posted in Gentoo bugzilla:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104369


More info:

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/udev-guide.xml



For me, updating the nvidia kernel and glx modules to more recent, though
masked as unstable, versions resolved the problem. There are other work
arounds and solutions in the above links.

HTH,
Bob Young

read the README!

you obviously did not read it!

remove dri - it is in the readme, so remove it.

are you sure you need xtrap and record? If not you can safely remove them.

you could also load 'ddc' which will make modelines superflous.

remove the 'nv' that is plainly wrong - and also explained in the README, 
several Desktop and nvidia guides, howtos and wikis. Which you all did not 
read.

this is not needed, remove&retry - it may hurt you

this is absolutly not needed.

I really hope, that this newline came from the mail-application we are using.


After you made the changes.
/etc/init.d/xdm zap
rmmod nvidia
/etc/init.d/xdm start
does it complain?
if yes:
/etc/init.d/xdm zap
modprobe nvidia
/etc/init.d/xdm start
add nvidia to autoload.

oh, and here is my very working xorg.conf:
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Trust me this time :)

You don't have nvidia devices

/dev/nvidia0
/dev/nvidiactl

unofrtunately they are not created automatically withthe new kernel
(although some reports vary), and you have to do it manually.

There is a lot of discussion on that in gentoo forums.

Some nvidia-kernel packages contain /sbin/NVmakedevices.sh
script to run, if not you can do it by hand

cd /dev
mknod nvidia0 c 195 0
mknod nvidiactl 195 255

and then set ownership to root:video nad permissions to 666 or 660


Unfortunately, you will loose them on reboot unless you run udev with
RC_DEVICE_TARBALL="no"

if so you can create like /etc/init.d/nvidia and put it in boot level.

If I use the nvidia driver I am unable to start X.
It is commented out here so that I can get X up and running, and be able 
  to do things in X, such as email.

I did read the readme, the Xorg config is one I slightly altrered back 
to get X up and running without the nvidia driver.
That is why some lines are and are not commented out as needed.

It is generally more useful to post the config file that you are having 
problems with, or at the very least an explanation of what has been changed 
from the problematic config, and why. Doing so would avoid this sort of 
confusion.
