You`ll also possibly know I refuse point blank to use the nvidia stuff |
| 7 |
from portage and if you`ve taken any notice you`ll also know why. |

Take the following comment from your web site... |

At the moment, there's one known quirk with the install. Some |
| 13 |
applications (most notably the Quake series) do not use the standard |
| 14 |
library search path for loading libGL.so, but instead manually dlopen |
| 15 |
"/usr/lib/libGL.so". For this reason, make sure that /usr/lib/libGL.so |
| 16 |
is a symlink that points to /opt/nvidia/lib/libGL.so. We'll be |
| 17 |
addressing this quirk soon. |

It isnt a quirk, the paths that quake,UT etc look in for GL libs is a |
| 21 |
standard place, when nvidia decided a while ago to create linux drivers |
| 22 |
they decided on a standard place for thier libs to be, that being |
| 23 |
/usr/lib and also they *had* to alter some XFree libs and links. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Once you accept you`re nvidia portage files sent the libs to the wrong |
| 26 |
place then you will fix your "quirk" |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I can if you wish get a guy who started the nvidia drivers to come into |
| 29 |
#gentoo and tell you why you`re /opt/ place is wrong. |

Other than this and GRUB being default boot loader, gentoo is excellent |
| 32 |
in all areas. Keep up the excellent work. |

Thank you. |
