Full Text Bug Listing

I have:

- emerged x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv-2.0.0
- restarted X
- it hangs, black screen, no error in Xorg.log
- checked revdep-rebuild but no need to remerge anything
- emerged back x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv-1.2.2.1
- everything returns to normal

emerge --info:

Please find/file a bug upstream at https://bugs.freedesktop.org and post the
link here.  Thanks!

done, here is the link:

Thanks.

I'd rather not mask this unless the driver doesn't work for anyone, but if
enough people have problems with the driver it might be necessary.  Feel free
to locally mask this specific version - if they patch it upstream, we'll
release -r1.

For a quick howto for not that experienced user, please see my
gentoo-forum-howto and description:

I just added 2.0.1, which should fix this issue.  Give it a try and let me
know.

2.0.0.1 fixed the problem for me, should I close the bug as resolved ? Anyone
still have this issue ?

Thanks for testing.  I say we mark this as fixed for now and if anyone still
sees this issue they can re-open.
