Re: [gentoo-amd64] Re: Nvidia problem

Thanks Sebastian, but I don't have that enabled. In fact, it looks
like I don't have any framebuffer support enabled at all.

I was wondering, could it be that the current driver has probelms and
maybe I should try an older version? If that's a possibility, how do I
install an older driver?
