Shame! ;-) Anyway, I don't much know what the Gentoo devs do to patch gentoo-sources. I've gone back and forth between the two at different times. One reason to stick with gentoo-sources is that vanilla-sources (and presumably source directly from kernel.org) isn't supported by Gentoo Security. Not sure how important that is to an individual though. > However, checking the Changelog for gentoo-sources I do not > see any indication of a possible patch to fix 3.3.0. =C2=A0Maybe > I'm just not looking in the right place. > Dunno. I can only report that my laptop seems happy with gentoo-source-3.3.0 + nvidia-drivers-295.20-r1. Frame rate is OK. No weird messages so far in dmesg. Nothing much else to report.
