Using nvidia-drivers 180.22 the neverwinter nights game won't start and complain about a segfault in /opt/nwn/nwn. Re-compiling the 177.82 drivers, everything works without a glitch again.

Did you confirm that you had the same version kernel module loaded?
(In reply to comment #2) > Did you confirm that you had the same version kernel module loaded? > Yes. I encountered the segfault after a fresh boot, so the nvidia module 180.22 has to be correct for the kernel. Shutting down the x server, rmmod the module, rebuilding the 177.82 module, modprobing that one and restarting the x server solved the problem.
Created attachment 179906 [details] emerge --info I've attached the results of an emerge --info and an emerge -pv nvidia-drivers. nwmain segfaults when run. Is this a driver issue, or an issue with the SDL binary in the nwn package? The log below shows NWMovies, but this issue occurs with or without NWMovies installed. Reverting to 177.82 works around the issue. toad@saya ~ $ nwn NOTICE: NWMovies(./nwmain): Version: 20080430.v4rc1 NOTICE: Looking up symbols in libSDL.....

Same issues with 180.27?

Please give nvidia-drivers-180.29.ebuild a try and report back.
(In reply to comment #8) > Please give nvidia-drivers-180.29.ebuild a try and report back. > Still the same -- segfaults.
Works in 180.35 now, at least for me and nwn.
No longer works for .37 and .44, though I switched to xserver 1.5.3, so that might also be an issue.
180.60 seems to work for me. I'm going to close this out. Basically, yeah, some binary releases are better than others. Pick one that works for your needs.
