nVidia's modules and libraries are combined in two packages: <c>nvidia-glx</c> |

The nvidia-kernel ebuild auto discovers your kernel version based on the |
| 58 |
<path>/usr/src/linux</path> symlink. Please ensure that you have this symlink |
| 59 |
pointing to the correct sources and that your kernel is correctly configured. |
| 60 |
Please refer to the Configuring the Kernel section of the |
| 61 |
<uri link="/doc/en/handbook/index.xml">Installation Handbook</uri> for |
| 62 |
details on configuring your kernel. |

If you are using gentoo-sources-2.6.11-r6 then your symlink should look like |
| 67 |
this: |

If the symlink is not pointing to the correct sources you may create the link |

like this: |
