16 different card than your but I need to put in /etc/portage/package.mask
17 =media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.8174*
18 =media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.8174*
19
20
21 emerge -pv media-video/nvidia-kernel media-video/nvidia-glx
22
23 These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
24
25 Calculating dependencies ...done!
26 [ebuild R ] media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.7676-r1 0 kB
27 [ebuild R ] media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.7676-r2 -dlloader 0 kB
28
29 also I'm sticky with kernel <= 2.6.15-rc1-mm1 ,
30
31 another thing you can look at is kernel loaded modules,
32 # lsmod | grep nv
33 nvidia 3707400 12
34
35 should output exactly that not other video related modules (groan every
36 time I see that 3707400 that become 4... with 8174 ....)
37
38 nothing definitive but may be something to try
