As I remember I've got a message saying my card was old and emerge has tried to roll back (after that I've had to relink some openGl references by hand). I've thought: 5200 was a card not powerful enough so why I would bother about particular driver whether it was nvidia or nv? :) Best regards, Evgeniy B.

Hi,
5200 is also my card and I have recently tested it with latest nvidia
driver - it doesn't work with latest stable kernel 2.6.27-r8. I've had
to roll back to my old nv driver.
Best regards,

Hi folks,

If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack
if relevant.
A complete build log is located at
'/var/log/portage/elog/x11-drivers:nvidia-drivers-173.14.09:20090331-205939.log'.
The ebuild environment file is located at
'/var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-173.14.09/temp/environment'.
I just want to have my GUI and a newer kernel please. :-)
Thanks much.
