Nvidia legacy emerge error

[divad]

Im using Sabayon linux 3.25 and when i emerge nvidia-legacy-drivers i get this error:

Help would be appreciated.

Make sure you are using the same version of GCC to build the Nvidia drivers that the kernel was compiled with.

Also, are you positive that you don't need the regular drivers?

It is hard to make an informed guess without the details of your system.

It would help to know the hardware.

Here r my specs

Nvidia TNT/Riva 128 64-bit
AMD Athlon 64
512MB ram
GCC version 4.1.1-gentoo-r1
linux-kernel 2.6.19
linux-headers 2.6.19

Just curious, but have you tried the mainstream drivers instead of the legacy ones?

Also, I am not that familiar with Sabayon, but I hear there are some patches they apply that aren't in Gentoo, and even though they share the same portage trees, it is not recommended to do some portage commands and such.

Other than that, I am sorry I don't have an answer. Have you searched the Gentoo forums yet?

[divad]

Yes i did and it said "FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.19-gentoo-r4/video/nvidia.ko): No such device"

No i didn't check the Gentoo forums but ill check...

dmesg says this "[ 470.198157] NVRM: The NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro GPU installed in this system is

Yea i did use the gentoo portage tree instead of the sabayon portage trees......that just might be my problem...

[gruven]

I just saw a post on gentoo forums, and it looks like it was you, but you can never be sure.

So it looks like you will be needing to patch the driver, or recompile your kernel with the same version of gcc you are using to build the driver, or possibly both.

[divad]

Yep that was me "mdskpr" right?

i guess ill build a new kernel i've done that before but ive never patched a driver.....

Thanks, gruven
