I also have an old nvidia card: # lspci 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV15 [GeForce2 GTS/Pro] (rev a4) and am using the 7167 driver. I upgraded to modular X this weekend. The only problem i ran into was this bug: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111877 To get around this, I had to switch to the X opengl interface, emerge X, then switch back to the nvidia interface. I also made sure to rebuild the nvidia module after the X upgrade. No problems so far. Haven't really noticed any differnce in speed, stability, etc. HTH, Matt -- [email protected] mailing list
