The motherboard also has an ATI card, which I have tried disabling in bios, but that doesn't help either. And in response to the other post by Mike Williams, it is of course a PCI Express card, my whimsical mind... I updated to nvidia drivers 8178, which give a slightly different dmesg, but still don't work. dmesg: nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel. ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:03:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 NVRM: This PCI I/O region assigned to your NVIDIA device is invalid: NVRM: BAR1 is 0M @ 0x00000000 (PCI:0003:00.0) NVRM: The system BIOS may have misconfigured your graphics card. nvidia: probe of 0000:03:00.0 failed with error -1 NVRM: The NVIDIA probe routine failed for 1 device(s).

NVRM: None of the NVIDIA graphics adapters were initialized! It does seem odd that the new 8178 driver probes the card twice and thinks it has found adapter_s_. Thankful for any further suggestions... I'm quite lost as to what to do at the moment. Jimmy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
