Problem: The ebuild for xorg-server-1.6.1.901-r3 (and xorg-server-1.6.1.901-r2) has as PDEPEND ">=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-173.14.09" for video_cards_nvidia which users who have to use the nvidia 96.43.11 legacy drivers have masked. This shouldn't be needed since nvidia-drivers-96.43.11 works with xorg-server-1.6.1.901-r3, I don't know about other versions of the legacy drivers, but this one works. Maybe other users using those drivers could confirm if it works for them as well.

Actual Results: xorg-server-1.6.1.901-r3 attempts to install >=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-173.14.09 Expected Results: For users who have to use the nvidia 96.43.11 legacy drivers, the ebuild for xorg-server-1.6.1.901-r3 shouldn't attempt to install the non-legacy drivers Details from glxinfo: OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation OpenGL renderer string: GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X/AGP/SSE2 OpenGL version string: 1.5.8 NVIDIA 96.43.11
nvidia-drivers-173.14.18 does also work with xorg-server-1.6.1.901-r3
(In reply to comment #1) > nvidia-drivers-173.14.18 does also work with xorg-server-1.6.1.901-r3 > I'm sure it does :), however that's not relevant to this since older cards (geforce 4 mx series) are only supported by the 96.43.11 driver

(In reply to comment #3) > Yes, according to http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=128942 it is > supported by xorg-1.6 > Indeed, xorg-server 1.6 works with the nvidia driver 96.43.07 and viceversa Anyway, since there has been no change regarding to this matter towards a fix, I'm uploading the ebuild I used to avoid the restriction. This is not, however, a proposed fix, it just remarks where the dependency problem is and how could it be avoided. The affected piece of code is at line 236 which by default contains "video_cards_nvidia? ( >=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-173.14.09 )" I just changed that line to "video_cards_nvidia? ( >=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-96.43.09 )" This will allow the 96xx driver to be usable with xorg-server-1.6 It needs to be noted that this, by it self, won't help that much until the ebuilds for nvidia-drivers-96.43.* has a wider dependency which have been already reported in here: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=258499
Created attachment 195529 [details] change of code to support nvidia drivers 96.43.11
