[gentoo-user] Kernel 2.6.33 and Nouveau

Hey guys

Got then latest gentoo-sources last night, and thought I'd try with the nouveau drivers. And it went pretty well (until) I had to start X.

I've attatched my xorg log. I have next to no idea what to do with the error.

Thanks in advance :-)

Cool.  I didn't know about nouveau.

Seems to be DRM that's lacking:
(EE) [drm] failed to open device
(EE) No devices detected.

I'm wondering if you built the kernel modules listed here:
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/InstallDRM

Yeah I have all the kernel modules. The only thing I'm unsure about is, that it refers some firmware that needs to be downloaded. This can be downloaded from fedora, or (I think) from portage. If the firmware from portage is the same as from the fedora site. Then I should have all necessary bits. But I'll try building it as a module, and follow the directions about that. (I'm just glad that the only gui applications I use are pdfÃ-readers and ÃÃÃÃÃin browsing :-))

You don't need to build it as a module.  Simply download the firmware, 
put it in /lib/firmware/nvidia/, and then configure the kernel like this:

In "Device Drivers->Generic Driver Options", in "Firmware blobs root 
directory" enter:

   /lib/firmware

In "External firmware blobs to build into the kernel binary", enter:

   nvidia/NAME_OF_FIRMWARE_FILE

Rebuild and install the kernel.  That should do it.
