Nvidia: can't use the console tty1

[Fitzcarraldo]

Yes, try the native frame buffer mode for your laptop.

Also, according to your post in the Chakra Linux Forums you are using the NVIDIA 330M GPU in your laptop. Which NVIDIA driver are you currently using? Is it x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-270.41.06#2.6.39-sabayon? Have you tried the latest version (x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-270.41.19), which is in Portage?

Yes, I have that GPU, you are a great googler!
No, I haven't the portage driver modules, but only the sabayon standard latest driver and kernel.

Well, you can either wait until joost builds the latest version of the package and puts the binary in the Entropy repository, or you can install it via Portage if you are confident in using Portage:

Code: Select all

# emerge --sync
# equo install git # In case you have not already installed it.
# layman -a sabayon # Do not worry if it is already added.
# layman -S
# emerge -1v =nvidia-drivers-270.41.19
# etc-update
# eselect opengl set nvidia # Ebuild should do this, but does no harm to do it just in case.
# equo rescue spmsync # Tell Entropy what you did via Portage.
