11 Can you test something for me? I have a new binutils-2.11.90.0.31 ebuild ready
12 for testing. I used it here and recompiled my kernel with "Athlon/Duron/K7"
13 set and nvidia along with nvagp worked fine. Here's what I'd like you to try.
14
15 emerge =sys-devel/binutils-2.11.90.0.31
16 cd /usr/src/linux
17 cp .config /tmp
18 make clean
19 cp /tmp/.config .
20 (configure kernel for Athlon/Duron/K7)
21 make dep && make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install
22 (install kernel for booting)
23 (reboot)
24 (remerge media-gfx/nvidia if you are using the nvidia driver)
25 start GNOME
26
27 ..And then see if you *still* have those problems. It's possible that the new
28 binutils resolves them.
