[gentoo-user] XFree 4.2.1 - Geforce Go support gone?

[Tom Reinhart]

I'm using XFree 4.2.0 on a laptop with a Geforce2 Go video card installed. I'm using the built-in nv driver (NOT the binary-only driver from nVidia) Everything is working great. The other day, I tried to install 4.2.1 because its a dependency for certain packages. I left all my configuration files alone (its a minor upgrade, right???) and when I started it up, all I got was a garbage screen and a hung computer. So I started fiddling with the settings in my XFree86Config but nothing I tried made any difference, then I started reading man pages. The "nv" driver man page had a line that XFree86 does NOT support Geforce2 GO. What gives? That line is not in the man page for 4.2.0, and it works fine. Was it intentionally removed? Googling for xfree and geforce2 go turned up nothing useful at all, except a couple of older technical messages when people were getting it to work in the first place. Anyone know??
