Description Niranjan 2009-06-19 22:05:55 UTC

A user at the NVNews forums posted a patch to allow x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-173.14.18 to compile against 2.6.30 for those that are still using this driver version.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Upgrade to kernel >= 2.6.30
2.  Attempt to emerge x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-173.14.18

Actual Results:  
Build fails

Expected Results:  
Build success

I'm not sure how critical this is, but I know there are still some people who are unable to use any of the 18x series drivers stably with their systems.
