Description Joeri Capens 2009-01-09 11:30:42 UTC

nvidia-drivers-180.22 is avalable.

It works fine on Linux kernel 2.6.28, it does not need a patch.

I installed it by copying and renaming the 177.80 ebuild to my overlay. This works but gives following warnings, which I do not know how to fix:

 * QA Notice: make jobserver unavailable:
 *
 *      make[2]: warning: jobserver unavailable: using -j1.  Add `+' to parent make rule.

 * QA Notice: The following files contain executable stacks
 *  Files with executable stacks will not work properly (or at all!)
 *  on some architectures/operating systems.  A bug should be filed
 *  at http://bugs.gentoo.org/ to make sure the file is fixed.
 *  For more information, see http://hardened.gentoo.org/gnu-stack.xml
 *  Please include the following list of files in your report:
 * !WX --- --- usr/lib64/libXvMCNVIDIA.a:NVXVMC.o

Reproducible: Always

Comment 2 José María Fernández González 2009-01-09 13:00:12 UTC

New driver has among its features the new NVidia VDPAU API, which is not considered by current stable ebuild. I have seen around the web some custom ebuilds used for 180.18 beta version which takes into account the libraries and headers related to the new feature.

Ebuild available in berkano overlay, which installs the parts needed for VDPAU as well.

No, it isn't.

Can we get a status update on when this driver might hit portage? I am eagerly awaiting using it on my desktop system and would be happy to test the ebuild once it's in the main tree. :)

Comment 7 Tim Ryan 2009-01-16 16:36:30 UTC

I've tested this using the ebuild from the berkano overlay. It works fine on my amd64 system. This should at least go in ~x86 and ~amd64.

Comment 8 Alexander Brüning 2009-01-18 17:12:45 UTC

Maybe this thing should be masked as it breaks firefox[1] and can freeze your system[2] (experienced both myself).
