The Gentoo Linux nVidia Guide has not been updated yet to reflect the new nvidia driver setup: there is a combined x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers package that replaces the split media-video/nvidia-kernel and media-video/nvidia-glx packages. There is also a nvidia-legacy-drivers package with older drivers to support hardware that is no longer supported by the newer drivers. I believe the kernel/glx packages will eventually be removed, but you would be able to find that out better than I can. This is how the changes look to me: Introduction: reduced to installing either nvidia-drivers or nvidia-legacy-drivers for older hardware, remove all mention of the kernel/glx split. 2. Configuring your Card Kernel Configuration: no change Arch-specific Notes: no change Continuing with Kernel Configuration: substitute nvidia-drivers for nvidia-kernel, remove mention of glx Optional: Check for Legacy Card Support: substitute nvidia-legacy-drivers for nvidia-kernel, remove mention of split, remove unmask instructions It mentions masking >6629-r5, but nvidia-legacy-drivers are rev 7182. Resolve list of supported hardware based on that. Installing the Appropriate Drivers: substitute nvidia-drivers for nvidia-kernel, remove mention of glx. Recent versions of udev take care of loading nvidia (and agpgart if used), no need to modprobe any more. Configuring the X Server: No change related to the new v. old packages. Should probably be updated to match the X Server Configuration HOWTO re: VIDEO_CARDS, etc. No other changes for Section 2. 3. Troubleshooting: I receive warnings about unsupported 4K stack sizes: if the pre-nvidia-legacy-drivers are going away, this section may not need to be here. If it remains, no change since packages this old would have to be nvidia-kernel. Note at end of troubleshooting -- needs to be updated both with nvidia-drivers and keyworded driver version. 4. Expert Configuration Documentation: /usr/share/doc/nvidia-drivers-*/README.gz No other changes.
