[gentoo-user] custom kernel with nvidia-drivers

[Raffaele Belardi]

Time ago when I upgraded nvidia-drivers from 295 to 3xx series there was no way to start 
X, it would crash immediately with my custom built kernel. After many tests I switched to 
a kernel config taken from a live CD which worked (and still works) fine with the 3xx 
nvidia-drivers but pulls in a lot of stuff don't think I really need. I started to remove 
kernel options one by one to go back to a custom kernel but that is a painful road.

Is there a minimal set of kernel options required to run the nvidia-driver documented 
somewhere? The gentoo wiki suggests to remove framebuffer, DRM, noveau but apparently that 
is not sufficient.

The current graphic board is a GTX750-based, if it matters.

thanks,
