|    framebuffer?    |
|    15 Dec 25 20:09:32    |
      From: dchmelik@gmail.com              I have a GigaByte GeForce Nvidia RTX 5090 OC (elsewhere older Nvidias)       which only output to either of two small monitors I booted with, not the       other, nor 4K, nor did startx. Unlike other operating systems (OS) I'm       used to (or popular extra/quasi-official repository) I don't see (from       'emerge --search nvidia') a plain framebuffer driver for being able to use       three monitors (though they will duplicate in the intersect set) and do       graphics not GUI or also after exit (I boot to command-line). I saw a       forums.gentoo.org Nvidia X Window System (X) thread but original poster       already knew most, so what was still said was harder to understand without       the complete picture in one section, and is only 1/3 my issue (other being       CUDA but I saw its package so probably works). How would I go about       getting a binary package, or recompiling one, first for non-GUI       framebuffer, and then for X?        I found your wiki:nvidia-drivers and some more helpful       (though partly       outdated/confusing) old threads (none had framebuffer and Nvidia in       title). I'll take a look at those... even for a Slackware user, the amount       of reading and detailed possible configuration of kernel and drivers is       slightly daunting so any replies would still be good.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
