Hi group, |

From the gentoo docs: |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
"Older cards such as the GeForce FX 5 series should use the 173.x |
| 6 |
drivers, such as nvidia-drivers-173.14.15. For these cards, you should |
| 7 |
mask >=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-174.00 in your |
| 8 |
/etc/portage/package.mask file. This will prevent newer versions of |
| 9 |
the driver which are incompatible with your card from being |
| 10 |
installed." |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
But emerge ignores package.mask and insists on installing the newer |
| 13 |
pkg. Searching reveals an old bug marked 'resolved' but nothing to say |
| 14 |
what the resolution is. |
