I've installed the lastest nvidia-driver version (NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-180.22-pkg2.run) from the nvidia web page on my gentoo with 2.6.27-gentoo-r8 kernel because I couldn't install this driver and its dependeces with portage and it works for me. But my problem is that I can't never complete my system update ("emerge --update --deep --newuse world") because portage wants to emerge nvidia-settings package, a package that is installed by the .run script that I've installed and I cannot install any version of nvidia-settings and I cannot update and clean completly my system. If I emerge nvidia-settings package I recieve an error mesasge. I've attached my error log on the url here. http://redsouls.net/bug.txt Thank you all Reproducible: Always

Situations where you work around the package manager to install software cannot be supported in ebuilds. Remove the files that you installed "manually", emerge x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers, and reopen this bug if the (same) problem persists.

I've tried to emerge manually and I've recieve the same error, media-video/nvidia-settings give always this bug. Can I write a false entry of nvidia-settings on any portage file that simulates I've nvidia-settings installed on my system? Is it possible? I believe in Gentoo Thanks

The problem is installing nvidia-drivers manually, or anything manually, thereby working around the package manager. If you want to solve your problem, then take this hint: `eselect opengl'. Please stop posting to this bug report now.
I am experiencing the same problem during a clean install of gentoo.

Yes, this appears to be a problem on amd64 deployment. I have not had this problem on i686 architecture. I did not emerge anything manually, and I do not have the nvidia stuff unmasked. The nvidia-driver works just fine, just as it did in 32bit mode. But, in amd64, I get the "ld: cannot find -lXxf86vm". "revdep-rebuild -p" reveals nothing of importance. How do we re-open the bug?
Oh, what I mean by not emerging it manually, is that I have "nvidia" in my VIDEO_CARDS in make.conf. So, it got sucked in by itself.
I have confirmed that this is a portage bug. libXxf86vm needs to be unmasked for this to work. In other words, the gentoo maintainers need to let that new version come out of it's hiding place.
