9 Actually, this is because the nvidia driver officially doesn't support
10 xorg-server 1.1, only 1.0 (1.1 is xorg 7.1, 1.0 is xorg 7.0)
11 Many people (myself included) find that it "mostly" works - some minor
12 problems with bitmaps fonts in my experience.

14 Unfortunately, if you've already installed xorg 7.1, it's really hard
15 to downgrade.
16 Perhaps you can find some help from someone else on doing that, I've
17 make a local overlay ebuild without the block because it was working
18 for me.
