nVidia released its legacy graphics card driver version 96.43.09 in beta status. This version is the only one which is compatible with Linux 2.6.27. According release notes it adds support for xorg-server-1.5 and fixes some bugs. It would nice if gentoo provided this version because current state blocks owners of such old fashion cars in kernel upgrade.
Created attachment 172278 [details, diff] Ebuild for 96.43.09 version This patch points to unstable drivers distribution server. (Tested only on x86.)
(In reply to comment #1) What kernel version have you built this against? It compiled fine against sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.26-r3 but bizarrely fails against sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.27-r3?

I suspect its in the wrong directory at some point which is why the ebuild is complaining about not being able to find "asm/semaphore.h"
(In reply to comment #4) Ok scratch the above, I'm an idiot and forgot to remove a mask in /etc/portage/package.mask that I had in place to prevent newer (incompatable) versions of the driver from being emerged. Installs fine.

Did you forget to copy files subdirectory from original nvidia-drivers to the overloay?
Works fine here.
I just copied (and renamed) the existing ebuild from the portage tree (as well as the files folder) and downloaded the files manually (which should be equal to what this ebuild does), works great. This patch should really hit the official tree IMO.
Notice for developers: this bug seems to be duplicate of bug #242476. However this bug supports both x86 and both amd64 architectures.
Well, maybe it solves that bug - it works for me but it's still a beta and perhaps shouldn't ever go stable according to UPSTREAM.
(In reply to comment #11) There is another problem with marking this stable.... What version of x11-base/xorg-server are you guys compiling this against? I had previously masked >x11-base/xorg-server-1.4.2, but 96.43.09 adds support for xorg-1.5.2 (see http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=122139 ). So I unmasked x11-base/xorg-server and hit the following block... # emerge -uDNa world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-173.14.09" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-177.80 (masked by: package.mask) /etc/portage/package.mask: # Nvidia graphics car is no longer supported ## Must use legacy version... - x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-177.70 (masked by: package.mask) - x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-177.68 (masked by: package.mask) - x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-177.67 (masked by: package.mask) - x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-177.13 (masked by: package.mask) - x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-173.14.12 (masked by: package.mask) - x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-173.14.09 (masked by: package.mask) For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. (dependency required by "x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.2" [ebuild]) (dependency required by "x11-wm/compiz-0.7.8" [installed]) (dependency required by "x11-plugins/compiz-fusion-plugins-extra-0.7.8" [installed]) (dependency required by "@world" [argument]) ...and this is because the current ebuild for x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.2 currently requires the newer version of the nvidia driver which has supported xorg-server-1.5.x for a while... # grep nvidia /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-server/xorg-server-1.5.2.ebuild video_cards_nvidia" video_cards_nvidia? ( >=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-173.14.09 ) real_card=${real_card/%nv/nvidia} So, how are people compiling against the new version, have you created an overlay for x11-base/xorg-server and modified the dependency? Currently x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.2-r1 is masked, even though the ebuild hasn't yet hit portage (http://packages.gentoo.org/package/x11-base/xorg-server) and.. # ls /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-server/ ChangeLog files xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r6.ebuild xorg-server-1.5.2.ebuild Manifest metadata.xml xorg-server-1.4.2.ebuild I can bump xorg-server-1.5.2.ebuild to xorg-server-1.5.2-r2.ebuild (and this compiles and runs fine with nvidia-drivers-96.43.09), but will obviously be missing out on the changes in the xorg-server-1.5.1-r1.ebuild, and the ebuild for xorg-server-1.5.2 needs this resolving before nvidia-drivers-96.43.09 is marked stable.

(In reply to comment #13) > > I'm still sticking on x11-base/xorg-server-1.4.2. > Doesn't seem much point in bumping the driver in portage until.... a) Its goes stable upstream (at which point it will likely have a version bump too). b) The drivers been tested with x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.* (after all the main feature of 96.43.09 is that it supports xorg-1.5 AND >kernel-2.6.27) and the ebuild for xorg-server-1.5.2 been revised. If you're happy to stick with xorg-1.4.2 and use your overlay for nvidia-drivers-96.43.09 then thats fine, but marking the driver stable in portage will create a load of hassle until the above two are resolved.
(In reply to comment #14) > > > > I'm still sticking on x11-base/xorg-server-1.4.2. > > > Doesn't seem much point in bumping the driver in portage until.... > You are right. Actually, my original problem is there is no nvidia-driver for kernel 2.6.27 in portage. Once I unmask kernel 2.6.27 or you make it stable, I'll get into troubles. So, it would be nice if nvidia-drivers-96.43.09 or nvidia-drivers-96.43.07-r1 (patched from bug #242476) got into portage as unstable now and as stable after stabilizing kernel 2.6.27.
