Subject: [gentoo-user] NVRM: RmInitAdapter failed! (0x12:0x2b:1438)
Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2006 10:52:25 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <43FDDA39.9070800@comcast.net> (raw)

Hey guys. The subject is the lovely error message I'm seeing after
trying to get the nVidia drivers up and running on this card:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX
4000 AGP 8x] (rev c1) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
        Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 248, IRQ 16
        Memory at fd000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
        Memory at e8000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M]
        Expansion ROM at fe000000 [disabled] [size=128K]
        Capabilities: [60] Power Management version 2

X simply refuses to start, and this error message is pretty much all I
have to go on.

X runs fine if I change the driver to 'nv' - the open source nVidia driver.

Any ideas what's going on here?

Thanks for any and all help.
