I have "gallium" enabled and am also using nvidia-drivers. It doesn't do |
| 17 |
anything when running those drivers though. What it can do though is |
| 18 |
provide software OpenGL rendering, in case you need a fallback. |

In any event, it doesn't conflict with nvidia-drivers, since it's not |
| 21 |
used if you did: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
eselect opengl nvidia |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
(Which I assume you did, since otherwise you wouldn't have 3D support |
| 26 |
with the nvidia drivers.) |
