Re: [gentoo-user] Arrghh,,, X.org and NVidia - SOLVED
Damn... That was weird... I uninstalled the kernel from nvidia's .pkg.run file and added the same nvidia-kernel to package.keywords with the corresponding nvidia-glx versions. And then emerged them again... And guess what? It *censured* works! :D Thanks to all of you who helped out here and there and everywhere. Kristian Poul Herkild -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
