> On my stable system with VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia", I have nvidia-drivers-340.93 installed.
Correction :
------------
On my stable system with VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia", I have nvidia-drivers-355.11 installed.
AFAICT (maintainers can correct me), nvidia-settings is considered deprecated, you are supposed to use nvidia-drivers with USE=tools instead. However, this transition was not explained to users and badly handled; for existing users of nvidia-settings, portage will now try to downgrade nvidia-drivers :/ Probably there needs to be a news item and/or a dummy nvidia-settings revbump that doesn't install anything but only pulls in nvidia-drivers[tools].

But my time for it is currently very limited. The dependency has been fixed for 355. |
