I went back and looked at the nvidia driver guide on gentoo.org. There
is no mention of nvidia needing that. Should I tell the doc team so
they can mention that for others or is my machine a little unique?
Since someone else ran into it on the link you posted, it may be
something that at least needs a mention even tho it is not nvidia specific.
Thoughts?
Might be usefull to have it in the docs, but I think, as it is something other
software requires as well, it might be an idea to stick it in the install-
guide and in the ebuild-notes as well?
Am wondering, isn't it in the X11 documents on the site yet?
I'll post it on gentoo-doc and see what they say.
I like this thing. The rig is super fast and the monitor is really
nice. These bad eyes can read this better.
I've got the same CPU as you have, actually, just on an older mainboard.
When I bought mine, I did stock it full with the max memory the board can take
(8 gig).
Not sure how much memory you have, but a 6Gig ramdisk mounted at
/var/tmp/portage is sufficient to compile openoffice. That speeds things up even
more ;)

Mine maxes out at 16Gbs. I have a single 4Gb stick in it right now. I
plan to add a stick every few months until I get it full. Then I will
have plenty of room to put portage on the ramdisk like you. It should
be pretty fast then. I rarely use more than 1Gb tho. Even then, I have
a lot of images open in Gimp or something to use that much.
Now that my rig is fixed, I'm going to take a nap. I'm beat.
