Have downgraded nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel to 4363 and everything is working again. A better way to keep the packages at that version is to modify /var/ cache/edb/world to from: media-video/nvidia-kernel media-video/nvidia-glx to: =media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.4363-r3 =media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.4363 Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
