1 I am having some trouble, I think, with my nvidia video driver, and eix
2 produces some output I cannot decipher from information in the man page:
3
4 jlc64 X11 # eix nvidia-drivers
5 [D] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers
6 Available versions: [M]71.86.07!s [M]~71.86.09!s 96.43.09!s ~96.43.11!s
7 173.14.15!s ~173.14.18!s 180.29!s ~180.60!s {acpi custom-cflags gtk
8 kernel_FreeBSD kernel_linux multilib userland_BSD}
9 Installed versions: 190.42-r3!s(11:04:43 AM 04/21/2010)(acpi gtk
10 kernel_linux multilib -custom-cflags)
11 Homepage: http://www.nvidia.com/
12 Description: NVIDIA X11 driver and GLX libraries

14 The man page goes into great detail how to specify many things, but doesn't
15 explain in simple terms the format of its default outputs. In particular, I
16 don't understand what the [D] means, but would appreciate any clues to a more
17 comprehensible explanation for all its output.
