1 I got stuck with driver selection.
2 My old system is using: NVIDIA Corporation GF116 [GeForce GTS 450 Rev. 2]
3 So the driver I use is: x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-390.144-r1
4
5 I have masked anything newer: package.mask:
6 >=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-391.0.0
7
8 as I had problems before with newer video drivers.
9
10 x11-base/xorg-server-1.20.14
11 is asking for min. nvidia-drivers-460.91.03-r1
12
13 From Nvidia Webpage:
14 https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
15
16 GeForce GTS 450 - they list driver: 390.147
17
18 if I upgrade to "460.91.03-r1" driver I might end-up without video.
19
20 Do I need to mask package: xorg-server-1.20.14:0/1.20.14
