Emerge installed "nvidia-glx v1.0.6629-r6" and "nvidia-kernel > v1.0.6629-r4" with no problems and i did the necessary changes in the " > xorg.conf" file. Then i tested my card with "glxinfo | grep direct" and > "glxgears" and i got errors: > Well, your /etc/X11/xorg.conf looks fine, but the log shows that the glx module was not loaded. Did you reboot after the emerge? I suggest trying the following logged in as root - mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.2D cd $home /etc/init.d/xdm stop From the console - X -confgure vi/nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf - Change - /dev/mouse to /dev/misc/psaux (or whatever your favorite is) - Comment out "load dri" Then do (X will tell you what the proper command line is at the end of configure) - X -file /root/xorg.conf.new If X comes up, exit out, cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg/conf /etc/init.d/xdm start You may need to change or add a mode line to get the resolution you want and add a - "DefaultDepth 24" to - "Section "Screen"" But it should load glx with no problem.
