Opengl3 driver released, It appears it supercedes 177.80 http://developer.nvidia.com/object/opengl_3_driver.html Reproducible: Always simply renaming 177.80 and changing SRC_URI="x86? ( ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/${PV}/${X86_NV_PACKAGE}-pkg0.run ) amd64? ( ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/${PV}/${AMD64_NV_PACKAGE}-pkg2.run )" works fine.
I'm not in favor of using or supporting beta drivers by NVIDIA so I don't see myself adding this to the tree unless I've managed to work through all available bug reports. Additionally, I don't have an OpenGL 3 based code to test this out so it's even less likely it will get added until there is an official release with OpenGL 3 support.
Created attachment 175996 [details] Ebuild for latest NVidia OpenGL 3 driver (180.11.02) The latest OpenGL 3 capable beta driver from Linux. Basically the 177.82 ebuild, but with package filenames adjusted and including PureVideo(aka VDPAU) headers+libs. Even if no software really uses full GL3 yet, this driver comes with some 'backported GL3' extensions that can be useful for GL2 applications. So if nothing else this ebuild might be interesting for developer types.

Official OpenGL 3.0 support is in the tree with the 180.xx series.
