Hi group,
>From the gentoo docs:
"Older cards such as the GeForce FX 5 series should use the 173.x
drivers, such as nvidia-drivers-173.14.15. For these cards, you should
mask >=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-174.00 in your
/etc/portage/package.mask file. This will prevent newer versions of
the driver which are incompatible with your card from being
installed."
But emerge ignores package.mask and insists on installing the newer
pkg. Searching reveals an old bug marked 'resolved' but nothing to say
what the resolution is.
