It works without problems. I emerged these versions (~x86) because the normal ones wouldn't work. $ cat /etc/portage/package.keywords media-video/nvidia-glx ~x86 media-video/nvidia-kernel ~x86 $ cat /etc/portage/package.mask >media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.7676 >media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.7676-r1 Today I emerge sync'ed and "emerge -pNDu world" says, among other unrelated things: Calculating world dependencies ...done! [ebuild UD] media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.7667 [1.0.7676] [ebuild UD] media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.7667-r1 [1.0.7676-r1] Now, what can this mean, given the contents of package.keywords and package.mask? Moreover, 1.0.7676 is supposed to address several bugs in 1.0.7667 (according to a NVIDIA developer, in another list). I tried emerging nvidia-kernel-1.0.7667, just to see what gives, and: * Determining the location of the kernel source code * Found kernel source directory: * /usr/src/linux * Found sources for kernel version: * 2.6.15-gentoo-r1 * These sources have not yet been prepared. * We cannot build against an unprepared tree. * To resolve this, please type the following: * * # cd /usr/src/linux * # make oldconfig * # make modules_prepare * * Then please try merging this module again. !!! ERROR: media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.7667 failed. !!! Function check_kernel_built, Line 363, Exitcode 0 !!! Kernel sources need compiling first !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. -- Jorge Almeida -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
