So I have a bit of a catch-22 here. Can you tell me how I can remotely run 'meld' / 'etc-update' on my notebook's X-windows off of the server? Then I can apply the other etc-updates. Can this even be done, since I can't get X to start on the server? > > [0] -1 0 0x2a400000 - 0x2a7fffff (0x400000) MX[B] > > (--) PCI:*(1:0:0) nVidia Corporation unknown chipset > (0x0185) rev 193, Mem @ > > Seems the driver you are running doesn't know which chip is > on the Gfx card. > Perhaps you should add ~x86 to nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx. I have been using the nvidia stable emerge drivers and I haven't upgraded the kernel AFAIK. I guess I'll try to re-emerge the nvidia drivers. The last ~x86 version of them really hosed up X good, so I decided on this box, to run the stable ones. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
