*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 549714 *** hmm, I would suggest patching this or potentially removing versions of nvidia-drivers from the tree, much preferably the former. I have a slightly older card and I cannot mask the versions "known to fail", >= 341. However, this requires me to manually patch the driver in order to merge it. While I understand that the kernel interface *IS* going to change -- that's just a fact of life, these little backports become vital to those who don't upgrade their hardware every time nvidia decides to stop supporting it. I have a patch posted that works and won't force those who don't know how to find such patches and use them to go buy a new card (of course, an AMD with real open source drivers). The only thing I didnt put is the line in the ebuild to run it. |
