Installing nvidia-drivers-173.14.27 solves this issue

It can be found here:
ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/173.14.28/ (x86)
ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/173.14.28/ (x86_64)

It would be nice if the ebuild go into the portage tree so everybody with this cards can update to the 2.6.36 kernel without pain.

In Addition: The 96.43.19 driver is already in the tree, which fixed the same problem only for a older series of cards.

Thanks for attention!

Reproducible: Always

Any news? Or why it should be outside from portage?

A "in work" would be very nice or mayby a "noticed". :-)

What is the problem?
Comment 3 Andreas Proteus 2010-12-06 08:49:04 UTC
I did the following and it worked.

mkdir -p /usr/portage/local/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers
cp -R /usr/portage/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers/* /usr/portage/local/x11-drivers/nvindia-drivers/
cd /usr/portage/local/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers
cp nvidia-drivers-173.14.27.ebuild nvidia-drivers-173.14.28.ebuild
delete all ebuilds exept 173.14.28
ebuild nvidia-drivers-173.14.28.ebuild manifest
emerge =x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-173.14.28

This assumes that you have: PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/portage/local in tour make.conf

(In reply to comment #3)
I forgot to mention that if you wish to use xorg 1.9
edit the ebuild to remove the dependency:
<x11-base/xorg-server-1.8.99
