I have ASUS GT610 , which is supported by Nvidia 396.18 :
https://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/133571 .
NB they say '18' is beta & don't list '24' at all :
I'm not sure why it's marked stable by Gentoo.

No problem loading the '390' driver : why would the '396' be different ?

That's the one. I've added my two-ha'pennyworth to it.

Indeed - thanks, Dale.

I found this.

https://bugs.gentoo.org/610086

Does that give you any hints at a solution?  I found other links not
related to Gentoo but were also older problems.  I tend to start with
the most recent things when a previously working thing breaks. 

Hope that helps because otherwise, I'm clueless.

[gentoo-user] USB printing broken in kernel 4.14.52?

2018-07-15 Thread Peter Humphrey
Hello list,

Since upgrading sys-kernel/gentoo-sources from 4.9.95 to 4.14.52, I now get an 
error when trying to attach my trusty old Kyocera-Mita FS1020-D. Dmesg finds 
it, lsusb lists it, but when I use the KDE printer applet to add it, it isn't 
detected and the cups log shows "Unable to execute ippfind utility: No such 
file or directory".

Reverting to 4.9.95 enables printing as usual. Is this a bug in 4.14.52, or 
have I misconfigured something?
