4 I was looking in the wrong use.mask file. I found it.
5 Nouveau was masked 4 years ago because it needs testing. So, I'll just
6 unmask it and see what happens.

8 One more question... for newer cards than mine, nouveau requires
9 firmware blobs for some acceleration. Are those blobs independent of
10 the computer, or do they require an intel/amd cpu? The Gentoo nvidia
11 firmware package only shows amd64 and i386, I think.
