I think it's important to point out that if nobody ever ran the testing versions they would never become stable. You just need to be prepared to crash and burn once in a while.

Does anyone know, if it's now safe to use xorg 1.4 with nvidia-drivers? I've been using 100.14.11 with xorg-server-1.4 with no problems. You have to edit the nvidia-drivers ebuild to stop is wanting an earlier xorg-server and add -ignoreABI to your X startup command. -- Neil Bothwick Strangely enough, Data finds himself relating to Heavy Metal. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

On a related note, I'm one of those guys with one of those old old video cards for which I need to use version 1.0.7185 of nvidia-drivers. Am I going to be able to use xorg 1.4, or will doing so require me to use the nv driver? Use at your own risk :) For me the nvidia 100.14.19 driver causes constant lockups. So does the 100.14.11 driver for that matter. I had to down grade back to the 100.14.09 driver which is stable for me. Harley -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] X.Org 1.4 with Nvidia?
Hello. When X.Org 1.4 first hit the portage tree, I masked it, as I had quite some problems getting it to work work with my Nvidia graphics card. I decided to stay with 1.3.0.0 for the time being. Now x11-base/xorg-server-1.4-r2 is in the tree. And also a new version of nvidia-drivers (nvidia-drivers-100.14.19). Does anyone know, if it's now safe to use xorg 1.4 with nvidia-drivers? Thanks, Alexander Skwar -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Does anyone know, if it's now safe to use xorg 1.4 with nvidia-drivers? Works fine for me here. The blocker is also removed since NVidia states that the new version is compatible with xorg 1.4. -- Naga -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Does anyone know, if it's now safe to use xorg 1.4 with nvidia-drivers? Thanks, Alexander Skwar I run a ~x86 system on which I had quite some troubles with 1.4.0 when I tried it shortly after the new nVidia drivers shipped. I haven't tried 1.4.0-r1 yet. I'm sure the problems I was seeing were unrelated to the nVidia driver. I had symptoms very similar to this guy: http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-user-de/msg_38486.xml To revert to a working system (on ~x86) I added the following to packages.mask: =x11-base/xorg-server-1.3.9 ~x11-base/xorg-x11-7.3 =x11-proto/renderproto-0.9.3 ~x11-libs/libXrender-0.9.4 ~x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard-1.2.2 I wish you luck. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I decided to stay with 1.3.0.0 for the time being. Yeah, that was due to an ABI change in the new X.org version. The binary NVidia drivers had to be recompiled - by NVidia, unfortunately. Now x11-base/xorg-server-1.4-r2 is in the tree. And also a new version of nvidia-drivers (nvidia-drivers-100.14.19). The new X.org server versions still block old releases of the NVidia drivers for the same reason, however, as NVidia have updated their drivers to match the new X.org ABI, it _should_ be safe to upgrade now (but keep in mind that you have to upgrade both packages). My Laptop's doing fine with the new X.org version and NVidia drivers. Afaik, the only problem was the ABI - but there are some guys at nvnews that seem to not be content with the new driver version. Most of them seem to use graphical effects though. As every single one of NVidia's releases, this one seems to have its own problems... but for me it's very sable.

So, 71.86.01 should be ok for your video card and recent Xorg releases. I can't confirm it myself, though. -- Jesús Guerrero [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
