So, falling back on stable is solving your issues with the broken nvidia-module, if I'm reading you correctly? Unstable can be ... well, too unstable at times . I'm running unstable amd64 and been forced to live with all its quirks. That can be just as anoying as rewarding helping out solving bugs etc. > I try to only do desktop upgrades on weekends now.

That is understandable. If you use your Gentoo-box for actuall production don't go with unstable, even if there are some temptation getting on the bleeding edge. Better to have a working system than none at all, as you've no doubt seen during the last few days. Good luck in the future! Best regards, Andreas Karlsson Sweden
