You mean emerge -C the nvidia drivers? The last time I used the nv |
| 17 |
drivers, I just had to change it from nvidia to nv in xorg.conf. |

Let me try and explain this way. This is the list of drivers in the tree: |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
[-P-] [ ] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-96.43.19:0 |
| 32 |
[-P-] [ ] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-173.14.28:0 |
| 33 |
[-P-] [ ] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-173.14.30:0 |
| 34 |
[-P-] [ ] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-256.53:0 |
| 35 |
[-P-] [ ] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-260.19.44:0 |
| 36 |
[-P-] [ ] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-270.41.06:0 |
| 37 |
[IP-] [ ] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-270.41.19:0 |
| 38 |
[-P-] [ ~] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-275.09.07:0 |

I want my old rig to be able to upgrade to whatever gets released in the |
| 41 |
173 series but no to anything above that, since they don't work with my |
| 42 |
card. I was thinking I used to do it like this: |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
>=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-173.99.99 or something to that effect. I |
| 45 |
just can't recall how to do it at the moment but each time I do a emerge |
| 46 |
-uvDNa world, it wants to upgrade the nvidia drivers to the 275 series |
| 47 |
or something. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
See what I am running into? I don't think I was to clear before. One |
| 50 |
of those days. |
