11 It's not much of a patch. It involves only copying a few files
12 from one directory to another. Apparently, these files are
13 auto-generated by the new kernel and placed in the wrong location
14 (wrong for Nvidia).

21 Out of habit, I still use the kernel sources from kernel.org.
22 I have an automated build/install for this from a long time
23 back. But maybe I'll look into the gentoo-sources one day.
24 Thanks for the tip.

26 However, checking the Changelog for gentoo-sources I do not
27 see any indication of a possible patch to fix 3.3.0. Maybe
28 I'm just not looking in the right place.
