I'm not able to get a 2.6.16 kernel (gentoo-sources) working with
nvidia-kernel. If I do a simple upgrade I keep my
nvidia-kernel-1.0.6629-r5. But after recompiling this module (because of
the 2.6.16 upgrade) the module is not loaded:

| WARNING: //lib/modules/2.6.16-suspend2-r4/video/nvidia.ko needs unknown
| symbol remap_page_range
|
| WARNING: //lib/modules/2.6.16-suspend2-r4/video/nvidia.ko needs unknown
| symbol pci_find_class

So I tried a newer masked nvidia-kernel (it doesn't matter which version).
The module compiles and I don't get the error mentioned above. The module
was even loaded, but X fails to start. dmesg tells something (I have no log
with the message) about "Your client doesn't support versioning!!". I'm
using a nvidia 6800GT AGP.

I have same video card and have had no problem with 2.6.16-gentoo-r7 and
nvidia-glx-1.0.8762 & nvidia-kernel-1.0.8762. ALso all previous versions
of above mentioned software have worked.
You will need to provide following info to help us troubleshoot your
problem:
kernel config - i.e. do you have agp gart compiled in etc. ( recommend not
and use nvidia's
output of dmesg
xorg.conf

Are your kernel source files installed and same version as installed kernel?
Hmm...that should be good for now.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That's it. I didn't upgrade nvidia-glx.

I solved the problems with 2.6.16 and nvidia stable by installing the
1.0.8762 drivers, and it works... sort of -- The video quality is really
crappy now. I have problems with horizontal flickering lines, in higher
resolutions, and I can't figure out how to get rid of them. I tried a
couple (but not all, due to bw) of the unstable nvidia drivers, but all
I've tried had the same problem.

Anyone else had problems with video quality after upgrading to nvidia
unstable? Found a solution?
