There is a nvidia-settings in nvidia-drivers already; as for nvidia-cuda-toolkit, there are two versions available: $ cd /usr/portage/dev-util/nvidia-cuda-toolkit/; ls *.ebuild nvidia-cuda-toolkit-4.2.9-r2.ebuild nvidia-cuda-toolkit-5.5.22.ebuild They are both stable. -- With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : [email protected] GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D
