Subject: [gentoo-user] "nvidia-drivers" ebuild?
Date: Sat, 8 Jul 2006 13:07:25 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7bef1f890607072007p38796870ub1c3c6be204909cf@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I haven't noticed this ebuild before. I am seeing a new ebuild in
/usr/portage/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers
Can someone explain this? I can only hope this is the end of a long
and troubling issue with xorg and nvidia-kernel. ???? I fear not,
however: (I am running with ~amd64)
| RDEPEND="kernel_linux? ( virtual/modutils |
| || ( x11-base/xorg-server virtual/x11 |
| !>=x11-base/xorg-server-1.0.99
| || ( media-libs/mesa virtual/x11 )
| app-admin/eselect-opengl
| kernel_linux? ( !media-video/nvidia-kernel )
| kernel_FreeBSD? ( !media-video/nvidia-freebsd )
| !app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-nvidia
| !x11-drivers/nvidia-legacy-drivers
| !media-video/nvidia-glx"
Maybe I just didn't notice this before? I think not, however. I have
found a couple of messages on the forum referring to nvidia-drivers as
a new replacement (??) for nvidia-kernel/nvidia-glx. Does this mean a
major xorg downgrade?
I have nvidia drivers and glx working pretty well, with only very
minimal redrawing issues maybe two or three times over the last 24
hours. Should one avoid any upgrade, or what? If so, HOW?
Thanks,
Alan Davis
