One month ago I switched to an Nvidia-based (ASUS GT520, PCI-e) video |
| 2 |
card on an ~amd64 box. I immediately had problems with the latest Nvidia |
| 3 |
driver causing a segfault when X started (text console is ok) so I |
| 4 |
switched to 295.20-r1 and everything was fine. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
But I forgot to mask 295.40 and during yesterday's update it got pulled |
| 7 |
in again, with the same segfault behaviour when starting X. |

I tried to manually downgrade nvidia-drivers but now glibc is upgraded |
| 10 |
to 2.15-r1 and nvidia-drivers-295.20-r1 depends on an older glibc |
| 11 |
(2.14.1-r3, I think). Emerge refuses to downgrade glibc so I am stuck. |

Since it is a mythtv box I want to stay away from nouveau. No problem |
| 14 |
myself with it but most of the mythtv development is around proprietary |
| 15 |
nvidia drivers. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
What other options do I have? |
| 18 |
Is everybody running nvidia-drivers-295.40 without problems? |
