The only way that you'll be able to resolve this is to remove the nvidia-drivers package and switch to Nouveau. If Nouveau works with your graphics chipset, it is win-win, since that driver is maintained in the kernel tree. Otherwise, keep checking to see if it becomes supported. You can work around it by masking ">x11-base/xorg-server-1.11", but that will (eventually) begin to cause problems as the rest of the system evolves around it. Is 173.14.xx the last driver that supports your card, or will any newer one support your card? Which chipset is your card using? --- Mike -- A man who reasons deliberately, manages it better after studying Logic than he could before, if he is sincere about it and has common sense. --- Carveth Read, “Logic”
