Hi there,

When I start X (or start kdm), I get a segmentation fault and no X.

8648.219781] NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module  304.88  Wed Mar

[ 8665.063246] NVRM: Xid (0000:01:00): 6, PE0000 1a74 65c2d922 00000000 
ca92dda4 00000000

The card in question is a GeForce 7600GT, PCI-E on a Asus F2A55-M with a AMD 
5500 CPU and 8GB RAM.

Kernel 3.8.18, nvidia-drivers 304.88 (Last to support the GeForce7600, newer 
drivers do not support it any more).

Any ideas?

Thanks
	Alex

Try manually rolling your own ebuild for 307.83.  This is the latest 
version for your card, but unfortunately it's not in portage.  304.88 
are a year old.

Thanks for the suggestion, but do you have a link for downloading the *.run 
file from nvidia? I can't find one on ftp://download.nvidia.com :-(

A BIOS upgrade for my Asus F2A55-M MoBo to version 6402 solved the problem.
Thanks to all who spent a thought on it
