message after recompiling Nvida driver:
WARN: postinst
Be warned/reminded that the 390.xx branch reached end-of-life and
NVIDIA is no longer fixing issues (including security). Free to keep
using (for now) but it is recommended to either switch to nouveau or
replace hardware. Will be kept in-tree while possible, but expect it
to be removed likely in early 2027 or earlier if major issues arise.
It looks like the 390 driver has been masked in portage, although not yet removed. Have
you read the message in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask? As the message suggests, you
may be better off switching to actually using nouveau. It also implies that 6.1.X LTS
kernels "should" still work. Note that the X log you posted doesn't even show
it trying to load the nvidia driver - have you tried again after recompiling it for the
new kernel? That message was a warning, not an error, so it should have compiled
successfully - did it?
Good suggestion, I switched to nouveau and was as able to upgrade to newest
kernel-6.1.19 as well.
besides, nvidia-390 is on the end of line as it might be removed from portage
one day.
