I run a ~x86 system on which I had quite some troubles with 1.4.0 when I tried |
| 18 |
it shortly after the new nVidia drivers shipped. I haven't tried 1.4.0-r1 |
| 19 |
yet. |

I'm sure the problems I was seeing were unrelated to the nVidia driver. I had |
| 22 |
symptoms very similar to this guy: |

To revert to a working system (on ~x86) I added the following to |
| 26 |
packages.mask: |
| 27 |
>=x11-base/xorg-server-1.3.9 |
| 28 |
~x11-base/xorg-x11-7.3 |
| 29 |
>=x11-proto/renderproto-0.9.3 |
| 30 |
~x11-libs/libXrender-0.9.4 |
| 31 |
~x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard-1.2.2 |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I wish you luck. |
