I'm sorry i don't know how this is supposed to work and if this should be placed somewhere else and i couldn't find any viable info on entering stable requests. Package works stable and bugfree for me on amd64 no-multilib build since 09/06/2008 using composite extension with awesome3 and xcompmgr. Couldn't find any bugs related that were unrelated to unstable kernels etc. emerge --info and eix nvidia-drivers attached Reproducible: Always # emerge --info Portage 2.1.4.4 (default/linux/amd64/2008.0/no-multilib, gcc-4.3.1, glibc-2.8_p20080602-r0, 2.6.25-gentoo-r7 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.25-gentoo-r7 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T8300 @ 2.40GHz Timestamp of tree: Sat, 04 Oct 2008 17:15:01 +0000 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p33 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.1.6 dev-lang/python: 2.5.2-r7 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r7 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r2 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.1-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.23-r3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=core2 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=core2 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="ccache distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/gentoo ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/Linux/gentoo" LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="en" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS="--exclude-from=/etc/portage/rsync_excludes --quiet" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X acl acpi alsa amd64 berkdb bzip2 cddb cdparanoia cdr cli cracklib crypt cups custom-cflags dri dvd dvdr flac fortran gdbm gpm iconv ipv6 isdnlog jpeg latex midi mmx mmxext mudflap ncurses nls nptl nptlonly opengl openmp pam pcre perl png pppd python readline reflection session smp spl sse sse2 ssl sysfs tcpd threads unicode vim vim-syntax vorbis xcb xinerama xorg xvid zlib zsh-completion" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="mouse keyboard synaptics" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS # eix nvidia-drivers [I] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers Available versions: 71.86.06 96.43.07 100.14.09 (~)100.14.11 100.14.19 [M](~)100.14.23 (~)169.07 (~)169.09 169.09-r1 (~)169.12 [M](~)173.08 (~)173.14.05 173.14.09 (~)173.14.12 [M](~)177.13 [M](~)177.67 [M](~)177.68 [M](~)177.70 {acpi custom-cflags gtk kernel_linux multilib} Installed versions: 173.14.12(03:03:49 AM 09/06/2008)(custom-cflags kernel_linux -acpi -gtk -multilib) Homepage: http://www.nvidia.com/ Description: NVIDIA X11 driver and GLX libraries
Works fine for me too (with multilib)
These are broken on 2.6.27. It should be a one patch fix. See http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=233418.
Hmm, so what are those of us to do with cards where this is the last stable version? I don't think everybody realizes this is a new legacy version. Wont fix is probably not the correct resolution, and the 2.6.27 patch should still be added. Please reopen.
