Hi list,
I'm using a quite old NVIDIA card aqnd it worked well but since a few
days it seams to be deprecated. After a eix --sync I got this:
emerge -DuN world
Calculating dependencies... done!
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "<x11-base/xorg-server-1.4.99".
(dependency required by "x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-71.86.11" [installed])
(dependency required by "world" [argument])
And eix tells me:
eix x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers

As descriped by the user guid I'm not doing wrong:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/nvidia-guide.xml
In /etc/portage/package.mask i added:
...
>=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.28
>=sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.13
>=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-87.00
...
In /etc/portage/package.keywords I added:
...
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers ~x86
...
So for me it looks like the xorg server which is required by my
nvidia-card (x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-71.86.11) isn't longer in the
portage-tree...
Don't know what to do now - do I need to buy a newer graphiccard? :O ;)
Hopefully not...
cheers Chris
