Well the reason I say it is broken is because in my experience, for some reason, XFree doesn't recognize the driver when you emerge it, but it works fine when you have the nVidia driver compile itself from scratch. > | 2) genkernel is the ONLY working option. > > Huh? That is obviously untrue. Okay, clarification. In my experience, genkernel has been the only DECENT option for getting Gentoo to work, since Gentoo requires certain modules to be loaded (like devfsd) and genkernel takes care of those automatically. There are also distinct differences between the configure screen on "genkernel --config" and "make menuconfig". > -- > Ciaran McCreesh > Mail: ciaranm at gentoo.org > Web: http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm > > Scott Jackson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PS: <flame prevention> These are *my* notes on *my* installation.
