It's true. It seems 8178 works much much smoother that 6629. Also, it works on my card (Nvidia GeForce 2MX.) So now I'm running: kernel: 2.6.15-gentoo-r7 xorg: xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6 nvidia: nvidia-kernel-1.0.8178-r3, nvidia-glx-1.0.8178-r1 Thanks everyone!

I've got an old nVida card: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV6 [Vanta/Vanta LT] (rev 15) and am using the 7174. GLX, DRI it all works well. I've been putting off upgrading to modular X on this box until I knew that any bugs which might affect the nVidia kernel were resolved. So has anyone using this unified driver upgraded to modular Xorg and still had GLX, DRI all work using the nVidia 7174? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I upgraded to modular X this weekend. The only problem i ran into was this bug: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111877 To get around this, I had to switch to the X opengl interface, emerge X, then switch back to the nvidia interface. I also made sure to rebuild the nvidia module after the X upgrade. No problems so far. Haven't really noticed any differnce in speed, stability, etc. HTH, Matt -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
