Looks like you've compiled the driver against a different kernel
source. How do you build your kernel? Here's how I do it:
- list and select the kernel
# eselect kernel list
Available kernel symlink targets:
[1] linux-2.6.22-gentoo-r2
[2] linux-2.6.22-gentoo-r3
[3] linux-2.6.22-gentoo-r4
[4] linux-2.6.22-gentoo-r5
[5] linux-2.6.22-gentoo-r6
[6] linux-2.6.22-gentoo-r7
[7] linux-2.6.22-gentoo-r8 *
[8] linux-2.6.23-gentoo
# eselect kernel set 8 <---This will ser the symlink to 2.6.26
- build a new kernel
# genkernel all <--- builds the kernel, I usually use genkernel
--menuconfig all to select wanted drivers and remove unwanted drivers
- rebuild the modules, list them first
# module-rebuild list
** Packages which I will emerge are:
=media-libs/svgalib-1.9.25
=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-100.14.09
# module-rebuild rebuild
Make sure your kernel is in grub, then reboot. That's how I do it since
the only time I rebuild the modules is after I build a new kernel.
Hope this helps
