I only checked the 455 drivers, but I didn't see any shared objects or binaries linking with gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Probably the dep is just ancient?
Created attachment 670796 [details, diff] 0001-x11-drivers-nvidia-drivers-remove-unused-X-from-gdk-.patch I was testing those just now, I can confirm 390.xx to 455.xx (with USE=tools) all work fine with new gdk-pixbuf. The only reference to gdk-pixbuf is actually an include in the gtk2 version of nvidia-settings, and it's not gdk-pixbuf-xlib. Whole dep is questionable but it looks safe to just remove the [X] for now.
And err, guess need to revbump too, nevermind the patch :)
Created attachment 670903 [details, diff] nvidia-drivers-revbumps-to-adjust-gdk-pixbuf-dep.patch Had a closer look to be sure, no calls to gdk_pixbuf_xlib* nor xlib_* on any in-tree versions. At run time nvidia-settings loads one of libnvidia-gtk{2,3}.so and only linked with normal gdk-pixbuf. Updating patch anyway (if wanted), given m-n for now I'd appreciate if someone took care of this regardless. I've built all versions of the resulting ebuilds again against gdk-pixbuf-2.42.0 without issues on ~amd64, nvidia-settings runs fine both in gtk2 and gtk3 mode.
(In reply to Ionen Wolkens from comment #3) > given m-n for now I'd appreciate if someone took care of this regardless. Or actually, it just got picked up so let's leave that up to them :) Good luck with that mess of ebuilds in general, would be simpler if nvidia-settings was split again.
