I only have 1 kernel, the lastest version. When you emerge -C the nvidia driver, it might still have been in a different kernel that you are booting. Last edited by Neuromancien on Mon 9:45 am edited 1 time in total I am not sure but I don't see another explanation. Under /etc/modprobe.d/nf but it does not work. I don't know how to prevent form loading : What is the output of find '/lib/modules/$(uname -r)' | grep nvidiaĪlso why is the nvidia causing issues? what driver version and what hardware? nvidia drivers have always been good for me, but I do upgrade my card every few years - if you are using legacy drivers then yes you may have issues I removed x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers but it does not work. If not, an emerge -C x11-drivers/nvidia-driver will definitely get rid of it.įrom the output of Xorg.0.log it looks like the nvidia module is still around and being loaded before the nv module.

I have recompiled x11-base/xorg-drivers with VIDEO_CARDS='nv' and updated the nf file :īut I am unable to restart X with the 'nv' driver :ĭid you also uninstall x11-drivers/nvidia-driver? If you have changed VIDEO_CARDS in nf then an emerge -depclean should get rid of it. So I would like to uninstall it in order to user 'nv' or 'nouveau' driver.

I have many system Freezes, maybe caused by the Nvidia driver. Posted: Sun 1:38 pm Post subject: Uninstalling Nvidia drivers Gentoo Forums Forum Index Kernel & Hardware Gentoo Forums :: View topic - Uninstalling Nvidia drivers
