Thanks to all those who tried to help with this issue. Being kind of a Gentoo |
20 |
newbie and not a programmer or developer, I am not sure what the problem |
21 |
could be. I have tried this on two different computers and always get the |
22 |
same result. Since everything seems to work except for the recurring |
23 |
revdep-rebuild issue, I am choosing to ignore it at this time. |
24 |
|
25 |
I did look into the drivers on the nVidia web site per rob's suggestion. The |
26 |
extensive install notes showed me a possible solution. It involves checking |
27 |
for conflicting libraries and/or symlinks. Sounds like it could be what I am |
28 |
experiencing. I will experiment with that although I am not sure I will know |
29 |
what I am doing. No matter though. I am retired and am experimenting with |
30 |
Genoo on "testing" machines, so it doesn't really matter if I break |
31 |
something. I have learned a lot about Gentoo this way and I am getting |
32 |
better with it. |
33 |
|
34 |
I was thinking someone else may have experienced the same problem and had |
35 |
found the solution. |

Thanks, all! I will keep my eyes on the gentoo-user list. If I succeed in |
38 |
solving this issue, I will let you all know. |
