For your information, nvidia-drivers-1.0.8776 and xorg-server-1.0.2-r7 |
| 9 |
are compatible; -1.0.8776 and the xorg-server-1.1.1 series are not. |
| 10 |
Reason is changes in xorg-server, and if you try the combination |
| 11 |
-1.0.8776 and -1.1.1, you should not get anywhere at all: it flat out |
| 12 |
won't work. I don't know off hand what xorg-server version the |
| 13 |
nvidia-drivers-1.0.9xxx need. The ebuilds will let you build an |
| 14 |
incompatible pairing. |
