Description Robert Golding 2006-07-10 08:14:37 UTC
I upgrade my system to modular Xorg7 yeaterday and emerge stated nvidia-drivers was blocking media-video/nvidia-kernel and media-video/nvidia-glx.

I unmerged nvidia-drivers, installed Xorg7 and re-emerged x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers afterwards.

I think the meta(?) for xorg7 needs to be updated to reflect the changes to nvidia drivers.

Q. How does that work?  Just interested.

My bug is NOT the same as 79606 at all!  It is just that the system
that pulls in nvidia does not differentiate the three positions of the drivers,
and that causes a block

i.e. this section of the xorg-x11-7.0-r1.ebuild code isn't working properly
//-------->
video_cards_nvidia? ( || ( media-video/nvidia-glx
                        x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers
                        x11-drivers/nvidia-legacy-drivers ) )
//------>

Problem is, I don't know how to fix it, don't know how to code :-)

No, not at all.
