22 On my system, nvidia-[kernel,glx]-1.0.8756 work with
23 x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1 and x11-base/xorg-server-1.0.2-r4. Notice,
24 however, that there is a newer version of xorg-server
25 (xorg-server-1.0.99.903), and the interface between the server and the
26 drivers changed somewhat between versions. I do not know if there is a
27 version of the nvidia drivers which works with the 1.0.99.xxx series of
28 servers or not, but my guess at this point would be "not." (CC x11
29 because they might actually know.)
