Thanks for any help!

any ideas?

uuhh, the /etc/modules.conf file........
have you added this.......alias char-major-195 nvidia

Yup.. here it is:

### modules-update: start processing /etc/modules.d/nvidia
# Nvidia drivers support
alias char-major-195 nvidia
alias /dev/nvidiactl char-major-195

yeah ... i am getting that message too when i installed the latest nvidia drivers ... :cry:

ah ... and i am using gentoo too

-m1z0

i think i got it ....
the /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so was pointing to the older glx module ( i think the one that gets installed when you emerge nvidia-glx ) so i unmerged nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx and installed the new nvidia driver using their program.
