Hi group, >From the gentoo docs:
"Older cards such as the GeForce FX 5 series should use the 173.x drivers, such as nvidia-drivers-173.14.15. For these cards, you should mask >=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-174.00 in your /etc/portage/package.mask file. This will prevent newer versions of the driver which are incompatible with your card from being installed." But emerge ignores package.mask and insists on installing the newer pkg. Searching reveals an old bug marked 'resolved' but nothing to say what the resolution is. Maxim
