Hi !

All commands with root user please.

First, run

cl-setup-video --video list

Look which driver have the star (*)

If in the list there are no nvidia, emerge nvidia drivers :

emerge -q x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers

Run again

cl-setup-video --video list

If nvidia is available :

cl-setup-video --video nvidia

Reboot.

Ok cool !

NVidia X settings is present in my (KDE) menu in “system” submenu.

Try to launch /usr/bin/nvidia-settings command ?

Hi,
with /usr/bin/nvidia-settings command i can launch it.Thats really cool!

(but in system submenu there isnt anything about Nvidia.)

You made my day! many thanks to you
