[gentoo-user] Can't build nvidia driver on older Dell

[Walter Dnes]

I have an older Dell with AMD Athlon and nvidia integrated video that
I've been using as a PVR hooked up to an HDHomerun dual tuner box.
Today, I decided to update the system... big mistake... the nvidia
driver will not build.  The video hardware according to "lspci -v" ...

"uname -a" reports

  I've attached the build log.  Any workarounds, or are the nouveau or
nv drivers polished enough that they can be used instead?
