Hi Dale, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
currently I am runnning nvidia-drivers-173.14.15 for my FX-5600 and |
| 4 |
kernel version x86_64-2.6.27-gentoo-r8. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I don't know, if the driver 173.14.15 works for you, but if it does, |
| 7 |
than kernel 2.6.27 might me a solution. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
kind regards, |
| 10 |
