Unrelated to you nvidia problem. I just wanted ot comment that I have not had
good luck with the Win4Lin kernel for Gentoo. mostly relating to the fact
there is no lowlatency or preemption in it.
I have better luck emerging the vanilla kernels, then apply first the Low
Latency patch, then preemption, the Win4Lin kernel patch, then mki-adapter.
The resuting kernel builds and runs well, and there is a VERY Noticeable
performance improvement. (My PII 300 TP was unnacptable running KDE with the
win4lin kernel from gentoo, my custom built vanilly source kernel make it
usable again.)
