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). |

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. |

Thanks for the tip. |

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. |
