Hi,
I recently installed Gentoo GNU/Linux 2008.0 (amd64, no-multilib) on

generated by 'make menuconfig'[1]. In the new kernel, I noticed there

I still think you might be confusing the kernel module, using modprobe to load,
with the X11 driver (you need both) which is named (as I wrote below)
nvidia_drv.so.
Hi
I've just tried to do a kernel upgrade from 2.6.25-gentoo-r4 to

I've had some trouble in the past with cfg-update although it sure is
