Actually, this is because the nvidia driver officially doesn't support xorg-server 1.1, only 1.0 (1.1 is xorg 7.1, 1.0 is xorg 7.0) Many people (myself included) find that it "mostly" works - some minor problems with bitmaps fonts in my experience. Unfortunately, if you've already installed xorg 7.1, it's really hard to downgrade. Perhaps you can find some help from someone else on doing that, I've make a local overlay ebuild without the block because it was working for me. -- Calvin Walton -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
