I did something rather dirty today. I downloaded the newest Nvidia Beta
Drivers and copied it over to /usr/portage/distfiles under the same
name the in-portage driver had. So while portage thinks the old drivers
are installed - that's not the case :)

It worked flawlessly and the new drivers gave me quite a performance
boost on my GeForce7400 Go! :)

So it might be worth it giving it a try...

Regargs, Aleks
