1 I haven't noticed this ebuild before. I am seeing a new ebuild in
2
3 /usr/portage/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers
4
5 Can someone explain this? I can only hope this is the end of a long
6 and troubling issue with xorg and nvidia-kernel. ???? I fear not,
7 however: (I am running with ~amd64)

20 Maybe I just didn't notice this before? I think not, however. I have
21 found a couple of messages on the forum referring to nvidia-drivers as
22 a new replacement (??) for nvidia-kernel/nvidia-glx. Does this mean a
23 major xorg downgrade?
24
25 I have nvidia drivers and glx working pretty well, with only very
26 minimal redrawing issues maybe two or three times over the last 24
27 hours. Should one avoid any upgrade, or what? If so, HOW?
