3. Installing NVIDIA Driver 470
To Install NVIDIA Driver 470 on Gentoo Linux:
Step 1: Select NVIDIA Version
sudo emerge -av x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers:470
Portage will automatically build the driver with the correct kernel module.
Step 2: Configure Kernel
Ensure your kernel has the necessary options enabled (PCI, framebuffer, and module support). If unsure, recompile kernel or check via:
eselect kernel list
Step 3: Load NVIDIA modules
sudo modprobe nvidia
sudo modprobe nvidia_uvm
Step 4: Configure Xorg
Automatically generate Xorg configuration:
sudo nvidia-xconfig
Finally, reboot to apply the new NVIDIA driver:
sudo reboot
So Now I’m truly Happy if My Guide could Help you to Install NVIDIA Driver 470 on Gentoo Linux!
