The nvidia-driver package downloaded from nvidia by the ebuild checks if the kernel has Framebuffer-Support enabled for nvidia and bails out, stating that this will not work although it works on my system. It would be nice if there could be a use-flag like 'experimental' or something so I can get rid of my autopatch. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: When overriding the check in NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-180.41-pkg2/usr/src/nv/conftest.sh the driver is beeing build and working. I can enable Framebuffer at the kernel commandline in grub and use X without problems on my Lenovo Thinkpad T61 at the same time. Actual Results: Framebuffer and X are working, switching between consoles & X works, suspend to RAM works Expected Results: The end of the world, as nvidia suspects? kernel 2.6.28, ~amd64, Linux flst61nb 2.6.28-gentoo-r2 #4 SMP Tue Mar 17 12:38:43 CET 2009 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T8300 @ 2.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Quadro NVS 140M (rev a1)
This isn't a supported mode by NVIDIA so it's not a supported mode by us. If you convince NVIDIA to support this mode, we will.
