world update nvidia problem

[MerryMurray]

Hi
Just did a world update in Sabayon Four to kernel 2.26.29. Installed the Nvidia 2.26.29 driver before rebooting and eseleted it. On reboot got the following error:
"Api mismatch: The Nvidia kernel module has version 180.11 but the Nvidia driver component has version 180.41. Please make sure the that the kernel
module and all Nvidia drivers components have the same version."

How do I do this? Modprobe , I think, but how?

Thanks in advance, Murray.

moved to correct forum

try:

Code: Select all

equo remove nvidia-drivers && rmmod nvidia && rm /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/video/nvidia.ko && rm /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia -rf && equo install nvidia-drivers && eselect opengl set nvidia && reboot

I have the same problem....as wolfden know (in chat 2 days ago, remember?)... i used that command and now my error is: FATAL: Module nvidia not found.
(EE) NVIDIA(0): failed to loadthe nvidia kernel module!
aborting
(EE) screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

Fatal server error:
no screens found

does modprobe nvidia work?

[dottzaius]

no, wolfden...it seems that the module doesn't exist...i tried to reinstall the drivers but it's the same error

[wolfden]

weird

what about

Code: Select all

emerge --sync && emerge nvidia-drivers

I had the same problem, what solves it is downgrading your driver to the same version that your settings have.

I mean if you have nvidia-settings-180.11, you should also have nvidia-driver-180.11, as your comment mentions you have a newer driver so settings have problems :s

on terminal run emerge -s nvidia, that'll tell you what's the newer version available, just make sure you install the same on both.

let me know if this works for you
