However, I am experiencing some problems which I think are at least in part due to my perhaps incomplete kernel configuration. First of all, my console is still in 80x24 mode, although I pass video=vesafb:1024x768-32@72 to the kernel. I have compiled vesafb-tng into the kernel, so specifying the vga mode is not needed, right? If I add vga=0x318, the kernel complains about an unsupported mode and makes me choose another. However, I know from my previous (genkernel-created) kernel that these paramters work for my hardware setup. Secondly, I installed nvidia-drivers, but the X server refuses to load glx. I can't check for the exact error now, but it's something about an unrecognised/unsupported format. If I set opengl to xorg-x11, X starts (but I suppose it's not by far the same thing). Could this be linked to the fact that my detected X settings are a bit strange? For instance, the monitor VendorName and ModelName are just generic strings and the subsections for the Screen section only contain "ViewPort 0 0" in addition to Depth, which varies (correctly as far as I can tell) from 1 to 24. Other than that, and a bit offtopic, too, today has been both very fun and incredibly educational (but a bit sore on the eyes). But after about 13 hours, I might not make much sense. Apologies beforehand if that is the case. Vlad -- How's my English? How about my Netiquette? Do mail me if something is wrong with my behaviour. Thank you. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
