Hi, and happy new year to all. I have a not so old nvidia video board, but the recent closed source driver complains, saying that I should stick to an earlier version:
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-340.93-r1 (it is recommended if I unmask it and emerge a new one) Then, in an excerpt from emerge -tpvuDN world: ...

Although not entirely satisfied in using a closed-source driver, and as far as I know, the alternative xf86-video-nouveau isn't as complete. Any ideas? Thanks a lot and best regards, Francisco
