Could we please get an ebuild for these new beta drivers into the tree? They seem to be required for CUDA 2.2. For testing, I just renamed the 180.51 ebuild and the drivers have been installed correctly.
which kernel/compiler do you have? for me renaming ebuild worked but only in part: 1. it compiled/installed cleanly 2. kdm worked 3. logging in to kde4 with acceleration failed (black screen and kdm again) i've got: kernel 2.6.28-gentoo-r2, gcc-4.3.3-r2, kde 4.2.3, amd64
(In reply to comment #1) > i've got: > kernel 2.6.28-gentoo-r2, gcc-4.3.3-r2, kde 4.2.3, amd64 I'm using gcc-4.3.3-r2 with a 2.6.29 vanilla kernel on amd64. I don't use KDE, but OpenGL and CUDA applications seem to run just fine for me with these new drivers.

Still, I think it would be useful to have a masked ebuild for them, so that interested people can try them out.

185.19 is already out. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 265238 ***

I've also made it clear time and time again that the only NVIDIA driver releases that Gentoo will work with are the official releases and subsequently updated FTP releases, which are now called pre-releases. The last bug for some beta drivers I got NVIDIA involved in and as a result Aaron made a clarification for us on the status/quality of NVIDIA driver releases. Long story short, you may create bugs for beta drivers to share with fellow Gentoo-ers, but you won't find any official word from the maintainers on those driver versions.
