Hey Frank, |
42 |
I hadn't played with this since you first posted but I've been |
43 |
waiting for a new nvidia-driver to solve the problem and not seen it. |
44 |
As my laptop uses vanilla-sources I was stuck but also not really |
45 |
wanting to do the patch you did. |
46 |
|
47 |
Anyway, for kicks this morning I tried gentoo-sources-3.3.0 and |
48 |
found that nvidia-drivers builds & runs fine with that kernel. |
49 |
|
50 |
Don't know if this is helpful but thought I'd let you know that the |
51 |
gentoo devs seem to know how to fix this for their kernel. |
52 |
|
53 |
Cheers, |
54 |
