7 If dmesg says that your card isn't supported, then you have a "legacy"
8 card which means nVidia isn't realeasing support for it any more in the
9 standard drivers... Throw this in to /etc/portage/package.mask:
10 >=media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.7664
11 >=media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.7664
12
13 7664 will stay in the tree atleast until nVidia releases updated drivers
14 for those legacy cards.
