Description Christophe LEFEBVRE 2010-08-12 17:49:16 UTC 
I was unable to boot my laptop for several weeks.
My problem was a crash at boot after the following message:
vgaarb: device changed decodes: PCI :0000:02:00.0,olddecodes=io+mem, decodes=none:owns=io+mem
vgaarb: transferring owner from PCI:0000:02:00.0 to PCI:0000:03:00.0

Today, I have emerge nvidia-drivers-195.36.31 and I boot successfully. I think I have the same bug has described on http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=150212

Reproducible: Always

Hello, this blocker bug is still there with gentoo-sources-2.6.34-r6.
This bug affects some (or all ?) users with 2 nvidia cards. The patch suggested on http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=2244830&postcount=9 is not sufficient to solve the problem. I have not checked all the changes in nvidia-drivers-195.36.31 but this version has solved my black screen at boot and I can run successfully kdm.
Many laptops have 2 nvidia cards and it is not easy to solve this kind of bug and it's why I suggest to stabilize nvidia-drivers-195.36.31.

I guess these are all good to go.

Arch teams, please test and mark stable:
=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-96.43.18
=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-173.14.27
=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-195.36.31

Target KEYWORDS=" amd64 x86 "

Yes, arch teams please make this happen. Thanks for bringing this up Jer.

you better backport the patch to that one too i'm speaking about the 195 one, i don't know for 96 and 173 series
i didn't test it with the 195 version and the provided patch, but last time i tried, 195 was showing same error when building
