Everything works. Have you tried following the NVidia > Guide from the Gentoo Docs? Today I tried it by emerging nvidia-kernel-1.0.8178-r3 and nvidia-glx-1.0.8178, having gentoo-kernel 2.6.14-r5 running. Loading the kernel-module with modprobe works fine. Than I tuned my xorg.conf to use the nvidia-glx module, now my xorg.conf looks like this: ---[/etc/X11/xorg.conf]------------ Section "Module" SubSection "extmod" Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension EndSubSection Load "type1" Load "freetype" Load "glx" EndSection Section "Files" RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc/" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/TTF/" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/Type1/" # FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/CID/" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/local/" # FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/Speedo/" # FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/TrueType/" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/freefont/" # The module search path.

But lateron it hangs with nearly 100 percent of cpu-time usage, especially if I use the webbrowser firefox. I don't know what's wrong. Any more hints on that? thx, Jonatan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
