Peter,
I'm running a non-~amd64 box as well. My package.keywords file is
getting rather large, but it's still a "stable" system. I'd have to
guess that it is something with the new kernel, as I'm running
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-100.14.09 under the 2.6.20-gentoo-r8 kernel
and not having problems with the sandbox violations. Granted this may
be a faulty supposition as some of the major "unstable" packages I'm
running is gcc-4.2.0 and glibc-2.6.
I am curious why you had to turn sandbox off for nvidia-drivers. I've
never had to. If memory serves, the last time I had trouble with the
sandbox was firefox-1.5.xx.
Ain't Gentoo fun. Two systems running the same things and two
different experiences. I love it.
