I updated to  xorg-server-1.20.3  yesterday & ran into trouble.
It wanted to update to  nvidia-drivers-396.54 ,
which doesn't support my graphics card ( Asus GT610 : bought 150914 ) :
there was an error msg in  Xorg.0.log  to this effect.
I tried  390.67  (which I had been using before yesterday)
& updating to  390.87 , but got errors with the latter
"failed to initialise kernel module" (Xorg)
& "nvidia : unknown symbol backlight_device_register" (kernel) ;
 390.67  won't emerge with  xorg-server-1.20.3 .

So I'm back using Nouveau, which seems to work adequately for most things,
but won't run 3D screensavers.

Perhaps I should buy a more upto-date graphics card.

Does anyone have comments or suggestions ?
