WORKSFORME with [IP-] [ ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-5.5.9:5.5.9 [IP-] [ ] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-440.59:0/440 @ Stefan: I guess, open issue #54 opened 21 days ago by lourdas "vmware-modules-15.5.1-r1 with Linux 5.5.x #54" could be closed as OBSOLETE.
Thanks for testing! I don't know what's wrong in that GitHub bug report. Could be related to the use of Systemd or some other custom modification. Maybe missing kernel modules, among those already upstreamed?
