Re: [gentoo-amd64] Re: Nvidia problem

I also have 2.6.12-r6, and am building nvidia after the kernel. I have
kde packages installing right now, so I'll try a different version
tomorrow. Interesting though...I just did emerge -p nvidia-kernel and
it said the version that would be installed is
nvidia-kernel-1.0.6629-r4. How did you end up with version 1.0.7667?
