No problem here. b) emerge would not propose me anything else, but if you unmask nvidia-gl= x it=20 does (THIS should be put in red). c) there are other things to unmask. I added the following to=20 package.keywords: media-video/nvidia-glx media-video/nvidia-kernel app-admin/eselect =3Dapp-admin/eselect-opengl-1.0.3 and then I was able to emerge the last driver. I don't know if the fact of installing/uninstalling the nvidia stuff brok= e=20 something - does not seem to have so far. I find the whole dealing with masked packages is badly explained - probab= ly by=20 people who know the stuff so well they can't explain it clearly for newbi= es. I had no time to look if that cured the problems with the games that cras= hed -=20 I doubt it will - but where the nvidia driver worked the Gentoo version d= oes=20 as well. I don't know if the nvidia how-to I read was outdated, but it never said=20 anything about unmaking anything, nor about eselct stuff. Thierry --=20 The problem with the world is stupidity. Not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
