Ah, so you operate independently as well as outside of the world of |
29 |
portage do you?!? Shame! ;-) |

Anyway, I don't much know what the Gentoo devs do to patch |
32 |
gentoo-sources. I've gone back and forth between the two at different |
33 |
times. One reason to stick with gentoo-sources is that vanilla-sources |
34 |
(and presumably source directly from kernel.org) isn't supported by |
35 |
Gentoo Security. Not sure how important that is to an individual |
36 |
though. |

Dunno. I can only report that my laptop seems happy with |
44 |
gentoo-source-3.3.0 + nvidia-drivers-295.20-r1. Frame rate is OK. No |
45 |
weird messages so far in dmesg. Nothing much else to report. |

Have fun, |
