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
