Normally, this would be filed as a bug unless you were looking for |
| 31 |
discussion on it. I do have one question for you, where is your pci.ids |
| 32 |
coming from on the machine that is showing that for lspci? All Nvidia |
| 33 |
cards should be using capitals. It very well could be the pci.ids being |
| 34 |
shipped with the pciutils ebuild causing the issue. At any rate, I've |
| 35 |
committed a fix to CVS for this, since we should be able to check for |
| 36 |
this problem. |
