First and foremost, I used to use: x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-1.0.8776-r1 But I can't re-emerge that now -- it's gone!? WTF!? [I] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers Available versions: 71.86.01 (~)71.86.04 96.43.01 (~)96.43.05 [m]100.14.09 [m](~)100.14.11 [m]100.14.19 [M](~)100.14.23 [m](~)169.07 [m](~)169.09 [m](~)169.09-r1 [m](~)169.12 {acpi custom-cflags gtk kernel_linux multilib} Installed versions: 96.43.05(18:44:21 03/03/08)(acpi gtk kernel_linux -multilib) Homepage: http://www.nvidia.com/ Description: NVIDIA X11 driver and GLX libraries So, I tried to emerge whatever the latest stable one was and it told me that I was fsck'd and to mask out >=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-97.0.0. Re-emerge again, and it gives me 96.43.05. Now when I start X, I have a @#(*&$@# blank/black screen! UGH! What now? How do I get back the only working driver for this piece of crap GeForce 440 Go card that is apparently unsupported now in newer drivers. (It's in a Dell i8200 notebook -- I CAN'T replace the card BTW) ----------- Next thing that's broken is my framebuffer console. I'm stuck back at some God-awful 80x25 display. And the lovely http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_gensplash doesn't load anymore. http://fbsplash.berlios.de/wiki/doku.php?id=docs:distros:gentoo would indicate that nothing has really changed that I can see. The install mentions this fbcondecor thing, but says it's optional. This is in my grub.conf file (sans the line breaks for readability): kernel=(hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz ro root=/dev/hda3 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,1600x1200-16@60 splash=silent,theme:livecd-2006.1 quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 fbcon=scrollback:128K hdb=ide-scsi resume=/dev/hda6 pmdisk=/dev/hda6 netdev=5,0xec80,eth0 initrd (hd0,0)/boot/fbsplash-livecd-2006.1-1600x1200 When I boot it complains about not being able to open /dev/fb0 or /dev/fb/0 Failing to configure resolution and icon positioning The .log file from the install says this: * Please note that the 'fbsplash' kernel patch has now been renamed to * 'fbcondecor'. Accordingly, the old 'splash' initscript is now called * 'fbcondecor'. Make sure you update your system. See: * http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/fbcondecor/#history * for further info about the name changes. * * Also note that splash_util has now been split into splash_util, fbsplashd * and fbcondecor_ctl. locutus portage # rc-update del splash default * 'splash' removed from the following runlevels: default locutus portage # rc-update del splash boot * 'splash' removed from the following runlevels: boot locutus portage # rc-update add fbcondecor boot * rc-update: '/etc/init.d/fbcondecor' not found; aborting locutus portage # ls /etc/init.d/fbc* ls: cannot access /etc/init.d/fbc*: No such file or directory locutus portage # ls /etc/init.d/spl* ls: cannot access /etc/init.d/spl*: No such file or directory UGH! ----------- And lastly, I get this BS when I try to start shorewall, which then causes it to STB and therefore I'm completely locked off from the network. I can 'shorewall clear' which allows me net access, but then I'm completely exposed! UGH. And of course http://gentoo-wiki.com/SECURITY_Howto_setup_shorewall isn't loading. locutus grub # /etc/init.d/shorewall start * Starting firewall ... iptables: Invalid argument ERROR: Command "/sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT" Failed iptables: Invalid argument iptables: Invalid argument /sbin/shorewall: line 375: 13010 Terminated ${VARDIR}/.start $debugging start I googled and tried some of the kernel options I saw mentioned, but that doesn't seem to be helping.
