So'm I. Ever since I upgraded nvidia-drivers to 260-19-29 I've had to |

recompile it every time I boot the system. |

This is weird. When I start the system, instead of the kdm login screen |
10 |
I get a blinking cursor in the top-right of a blank screen. An emerge of |
11 |
nvidia-drivers enables me to restart kdm and get a proper screen. This |
12 |
is in spite of not having been able to unload the old nvidia module |
13 |
because it was "in use". |

|

Therefore I'm going to mask this version of nvidia-drivers and revert to |
16 |
the previous version. |
