Here is a working combination (for me), assuming modular-X: |
| 14 |
nvidia-[glx,kernel]-1.0.8762 |
| 15 |
x11-base/xorg-server-1.0.2-r7 |
| 16 |
x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1 |
| 17 |
virtual/x11-7.0-r2 |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Notice that nvidia-glx-1.0.8762 contains an explicit RDEPEND for |
| 20 |
!>=x11-base/xorg-server-1.0.99 |
| 21 |
and the combination nvidia-glx-<anything> and xorg-server-1.1.<anything> |
| 22 |
will fail. With -1.1, the server/driver interface changed, and last I |
| 23 |
knew, the nvidia driver has not caught up. Notice also that after |
| 24 |
installing xorg-server, you might have to |
| 25 |
eselect opengl set nvidia |
| 26 |
by hand (I do, but haven't bothered tracking down why). |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
If you are running xorg-x11-6.8.2-r8, none of this applies, and you will |
| 29 |
need information from someone else. |

Hope this helps, |
| 32 |
