Description Philipp Riegger 2007-07-24 10:51:22 UTC
The nvidia-drivers ebuild checks if glibc is built_with_use nptl, which gives an error for glibc 2.6 since this USE-flag does not exist there.
Comment 1 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-07-24 11:49:19 UTC
This will be removed; use x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-1.0.7185.
Comment 2 Paul Bredbury 2007-07-24 11:50:36 UTC
You're using a local overlay. 7184 doesn't exist in Portage.

http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers/

Look at the 7185 ebuild:

built_with_use --missing true sys-libs/glibc nptl

The comment which suggest loading nvidia-drivers cannot work since the non-legacy drivers won't work with those older cards which require the legacy-drivers package.

x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-1.0.7185 works just perfectly fine w/ legacy cards, you didn't try at all.
