Doing this should resolve the problem: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
(Note that # designates a root shell...) |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
# [ -z /etc/portage/ ] && mkdir /etc/portage |
| 33 |
# echo media-video/nvidia-kernel >> /etc/portage/package.keywords |
| 34 |
# emerge nvidia-kernel |
| 35 |
# reboot |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Instead of rebooting in the last line, you could also quit X and do: |
| 38 |
# modprobe -r nvidia && modprobe nvidia |
| 39 |
