111 portage installed me diffferent versions of nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel
112 (1.0.6629-r6 and 1.0.6629-r4) should i install the same version? are there
113 newer versions available, or are these known not to work? right now i'm using
114 the nv driver, and i have everything i need (kde) working, though i'd like to
115 set up my nvidia card to its full capabilities
116 thanks
