As Dmitri wrote, that is no longer necessary, because this version is stable |
22 |
on AMD64. |

|
24 |
The problem I encountered was, that when I tried to start X with 8776, I got |
25 |
the following error message: |
26 |
|
27 |
API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has the version 1.0.9629 but this X |
28 |
module has the version 1.0-8776. Please make sure that the kernel module and |
29 |
all NVIDIA driver components have the same Version. |
30 |
|
31 |
And this even occurred after emerge -C nvidia-drivers etc. Now I got it back |
32 |
working with uninstalling the NVIDIA.<bla>.run package manually, and then |
33 |
unmerging nvidia-drivers, and remerging nvidia-drivers. So it seems that this |
34 |
BETA driver from NVIDIA behaves different from the former versions. |
35 |
|
36 |
But that doesn't matter anymore, thank you all for you help, |
