Hi all,
I have tried to install nvidia driver for my GeForce 920MX in a fresh installed funtoo with KDE-plasma-5. The original NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.48.run failed to load the module, thogh I continued the installation according to www.funtoo.org/Package:NVIDIA_Linux_Display_Drivers. Unfortunately, after reboot I could not even login in cli because of the blinking screen. So, I decided to uninstall the driver in a reverse order. I’ve deleted the three nvidia, nvidia_drm, and nvidia_uvm modules from /lib64/modules/4.16.7-gentoo/video/nvidia.ko, set the configs files back to “intel”, but was unable to remove glx. Now sddm can’t start, since xorg fails to find “intel” module. I would be happy to return to gui with or without nvidia.

-> Kernel module compilation complete.
ERROR: Unable to load the kernel module 'nvidia.ko'. This happens most frequently when this kernel module was built against the wrong or improperly configured kernel sources, with a version of gcc that differs from the one used to build the target kernel, or if a driver such as rivafb, nvidiafb, or nouveau is present and prevents the NVIDIA kernel module from obtaining ownership of the NVIDIA graphics device(s), or no NVIDIA GPU installed in this system is supported by this NVIDIA Linux graphics driver release.
