Using a minute to search on google can really help solve problems. |
| 15 |
1. Stable nvidia is not compatible with xorg 7.1. This has been discussed |
| 16 |
at length both here and on nvnews.net |
| 17 |
2. nvidia 9629 has a horrible _known_ bug that causes the crash. |

You can easily mask it using: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
echo =x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-1.0.9629 >> /etc/portage/package.mask |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Then emerge the unstable (~amd64) driver in portage. It should be 8776, |
| 24 |
which works. |
