Thanks for that, it's useful when you emerge your own custom ebuild but don't want to have to keep putting it in the portage tree (cos I like the tree to clean :) MAL -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] nvidia - starting from scatch
Make sure you do this for both nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx, as you need both the kernel part of the driver and the OpenGL/X11 part of the driver for everything to work properly.

The only problem w/ that, is every time you try to emerge -u(p) world, it will try to downgrade the package. kev ->-Original Message- ->From: Louis C.

Re: [gentoo-user] nvidia - starting from scatch
Notice what you said: *Gentoo* Developers do a bang up job, and I for one thank my lucky stars that we have them. KEYWORD: *Gentoo* Hmm... I looked @ my post, and nowhere do I find the KEYWORD. Maybe you should read what is stated, instead of jumping to conclusions. Anyways, feel free to email me privately if you want to continue anal-izing my post (in other words, exclude the mailing list).

Gentoo developers do a bang up job, and I for one thank my luck stars that we have them! I've never found a friendlier more helpful group.

Re: Re: [gentoo-user] nvidia - starting from scatch
It works, after installing the 4191.ebuild's the nvidia load perfect!! Before sending my last e-mail i have read the portage manual again but the solution you give me are not in there. Where can i find more info on the portage and emerge/ebuild. Again every one thanks for helping me. I must say whats running now is fast an perfect! At the end i shall also say i love Gentoo :-) Patrick "Louis C.
