15 Right now I managed to get "nvidia module not found" for both kernels
16 3.5.0 and -rc7 ... so I am back on 3.4.5 for now. I want to use my box
17 and not always fiddle around ;-)

19 The file gets created, same path for all three versions:
20
21 (in /lib/modules/)
22
23 ./3.4.5-gentoo/video/nvidia.ko
24 ./3.5.0-gentoo/video/nvidia.ko
25 ./3.5.0-rc7/video/nvidia.ko
26
27 But modprobe doesn't find it for 3.5.x
28
29 I don't know right now, will take care tomorrow.
