I have this ready for a while.. I've just decided to include this with the driver releases for the 2.6.25 kernel. Chainsaw is taking over this package. All new ebuilds install /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia; this includes 173.08 (masked), 173.14.05, 173.14.09 & 177.13 (masked). 71.x and 96.x still need to do this. *** Bug 230289 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 71.86.06 & 96.43.07 install the file in the right place and are compatible with 2.6.26; will be closing this bug shortly. In CVS. Thanks guys. Thank you, Tony. after performing a kernel upgrade (from 2.6.26-gentoo-r4 to 2.6.29-gentoo-r5) I was noticing
"* please file a bug about /etc/modules.d/nvidia: it needs an /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia"
I have not seen this before, but I cannmot guarantee that i have just not noticed it yet.
I checked, and both /etc/modules.d/nvidia and /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf exist on my system:
# diff /etc/modules.d/nvidia /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf
7c7
< # options see /usr/share/doc/nvidia-drivers-169.12/README
---
> # options see /usr/share/doc/nvidia-drivers-185.18.14/README

< # To enable Side Band Adressing: NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1
< #
< # To enable Fast Writes: NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1
< #
< # To enable both for instance, uncomment following line:
< #
< options nvidia NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1 NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1
<
< # If you have a mobile chip, you may need to enable this option
< # if you have hard lockups when starting X.
< #
< # See: Appendix I. Configuring your laptop
< # In /usr/share/doc/nvidia-drivers-100.14.19/README for full details
< #
< # Choose the appropriate value for NVreg_Mobile from the table:
< # Value Meaning
< # ---------- --------------------------------------------------
< # 0xFFFFFFFF let the kernel module autodetect the correct value
< # 1 Dell laptops
< # 2 non-Compal Toshiba laptops
< # 3 all other laptops
< # 4 Compal Toshiba laptops
< # 5 Gateway laptops
< #
< #options nvidia NVreg_SoftEDIDs=0 NVreg_Mobile=3

I guess somewhere between 169.12 and 185.18.14 the ebuild reverted to the old behaviour... can I safely
# mv /etc/modules.d/nvidia /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf
and forget about it ?
