One month ago I switched to an Nvidia-based (ASUS GT520, PCI-e) video
card on an ~amd64 box. I immediately had problems with the latest Nvidia
driver causing a segfault when X started (text console is ok) so I
switched to 295.20-r1 and everything was fine.

But I forgot to mask 295.40 and during yesterday's update it got pulled
in again, with the same segfault behaviour when starting X.

I tried to manually downgrade nvidia-drivers but now glibc is upgraded
to 2.15-r1 and nvidia-drivers-295.20-r1 depends on an older glibc
(2.14.1-r3, I think). Emerge refuses to downgrade glibc so I am stuck.

Since it is a mythtv box I want to stay away from nouveau. No problem
myself with it but most of the mythtv development is around proprietary
nvidia drivers.

What other options do I have?
Is everybody running nvidia-drivers-295.40 without problems?

thanks,

raffaele
