I wouldn't call it a solution, I would call it a workaround. A solution is when NVIDIA releases a version that works with the new kernel. Gentoo does not support release candidate kernels with the nvidia-drivers package. As I previously stated, Gentoo doesn't support release candidate kernels. This affects the 2.6.28 stable release, reopening and adding to 2.6.28-stable tracker. This also affects the current stable nvidia-drivers ebuild (173.14.09). (In reply to comment #1) > I wouldn't call it a solution, I would call it a workaround.

Works fine on x86_64. bump.. planning to mark 2.6.28 stable in the next couple of days, would be nice to see this fixed in the stable tree nvidia-drivers-180.22 are in the tree (~arch), but there are some bugs against it (relating to freezes and firefox), so it might still be best to fix this version to compile properly... x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-180.29 is stable and there was no issue with the gentoo-sources. (I run the 2.8.28 gentoo sources as they hit portage and run the nvidia-drivers.) vanilla is not supported, gentoo-sources is though. Perhaps remove blocker for bug 252467 ?! True, don't know why this is still open. |
