You are incorrect and correct. Because Nvidia removed the code for the older Gfx cards, they cannot use the newer drivers. Almost every pre-R5xxxx card needs the older driver, the exception is the M4000 series. However, as he has a 6600, he needs to be running the latest driver, thus in his /etc/portage/package.keywords, needs - media-video/nvidia-kernel ~amd64 media-video/nvidia-glx ~amd64 app-admin/eselect-opengl ~amd64 app-admin/eselect ~amd64 Bob - -- [email protected] mailing list
