I went and got an ASUS EN210 Silent PCIe card and followed the instructions at the Gentoo Nouveau wiki. I have not been able to get X running yet. Trying to launch X with startx blanks the screen, and I can't get it back. Note that the machine does *NOT* lock up, rather the video gets disabled until I reboot. I can ssh into the machine. It appears to be working fine. If I... * start a root text console in TTY8 * switch to TTY9 * startx The screen goes blank and I can't get graphics or GUI, no matter what I do. I can ssh in from another machine and things look OK. As a matter of fact, I can {CTRL-ALT-F8} and blindly issue the command "reboot" or "halt -p", and it gets executed. The attached Xorg.log file shows nothing wrong. "Xorg -configure" does generate an xorg.conf.new file, but screams about... =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D (EE) [drm] No DRICreatePCIBusID symbol Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices.

I only have the xorg version. Any ideas? Do the proprietary Nvidia drivers work with kernel 3.2.12? I'm running with mdev instead of udev. Would that make a difference? [/QUOTE] Anyway, I run the closed source driver on 5 machines here. They all work fine. None of my NVidia cards are 210-based. Sorry for the noise, Mark
