Re: [gentoo-user] [PATCH] Linus breaks nvidia-drivers again

Which kernel version does the breakage start at, so I know not to rush into it when it goes mainstream? Also, is there a walkthrough for switching from Nvidia to Nouveau drivers? I couldn't get Nouveau working when I first tried, which is why I'm using the Nvidia driver right now. lspci shows... 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
