+1 I also ask for a new (probably hardmasked) ebuild. It would make beta-testing much easier and next stable 9xxx version may be better then ;-) Just don't forget to include this patch: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/attachment.php?attachmentid=20486&d=1158955681

(In reply to comment #5) > Created an attachment (id=97816) [edit] > files/nvidia-drivers-1.0.9625-NoSMBUS.patch Yeah, now it works... With I2C , it is completely broken.

Like libGL nvidia and 09nvidia (you'll get some errors during merge without them, and things might not work 100%). Unless they've changed the ebuild since last time I checked anyway.

Yes, that's true - some compilations fails because of missing (well, not missing, but empty) libGL.la.

+1, this would be 150% appreciated if it was at least hardmasked.

This is in the tree, and hard masked. I only really added it for my own testing, when I noticed this bug.

this fixes problems with 7950 cards on 87xxx drivers. lspci output 07:00.0 3D controller: nVidia Corporation Unknown device 0294 (rev a1) 08:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Unknown device 0294 (rev a1) card not even found update-pciids has no update either". but it sure works :) glxgears 105705 frames in 5.0 seconds = 21140.902 FPS 115296 frames in 5.0 seconds = 23059.199 FPS 115181 frames in 5.0 seconds = 23036.188 FPS 115335 frames in 5.0 seconds = 23066.814 FPS 115393 frames in 5.0 seconds = 23078.465 FPS 115335 frames in 5.0 seconds = 23066.938 FPS 115486 frames in 5.0 seconds = 23097.104 FPS I wonder how many kittens died from this 0-day bump :D
Which 7950 is that? I'll submit an update for the PCI IDs database.

It's now in the PCIIDS pending list. =]
Hi folks, i dunno if this is worth a new bug report, but "they" (well nvidia ;) released a new version with an increased version number by "one". Here it comes -> ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-9626/ PS: Sorry, yet another dead kitten. Well whatever, i really enjoy dogs more.

Well whatever, i really enjoy dogs more. Yes, you should file a new bug, but anyway: It works nice (2D/3D) even without I2C patch, so it's great! Just rename ebuild and comment out that I2C epatch...
Seems like someone else killed more kittens than me. -> https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151320 PS: works for me as well (~amd64).
