Well, read the messages on the screen when you try to emerge |
| 7 |
nvidia-drivers. Doesn't it say, that Gentoo only supports the kernels |
| 8 |
that NVIDIA supports and that you shall not report a bug nvidia-drivers |
| 9 |
failing? |

My interpretation of this message in the nvidia-drivers ebuild is that |
| 16 |
the maintainers assume that you switch to nouveau. Nouveau works great |
| 17 |
for office stuff. But when it comes to gaming I'm hitting a few |
| 18 |
obstacles. For example, 32bit apps (like wine) are stuck with whatever |
| 19 |
mesa version is supplied by the emul* packages (mesa 9.0.1 or whatever). |
| 20 |
It's 2013, and Gentoo still doesn't have proper multilib support in the |
| 21 |
portage tree. Gentoo is certainly to blame here, but I'd even go further |
| 22 |
and blame autoconf. |
