Precedence: bulk List-Post: List-Help: List-Unsubscribe: List-Subscribe: List-Id: Gentoo Linux mail X-BeenThere: gentoo-user@gentoo.org Reply-to: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline X-Archives-Salt: a4aa98ce-2419-4af8-8bf6-77dd5f8b412c X-Archives-Hash: ce8bd1b07f5e4a0f8cf5ba23603f2ccc 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?
