I must say, I was very excited to try this out. I updated /etc/portage/package.keywords just as you said and was able to install nvidia-kernel-1.0.7676-r1. Unfortunately, I still get the same results. No X server and "(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module!" in my log file. I have seriously bad luck with nvidia. Maybe I would be better off with a new motherboard (my nvidia chip is integrated). :( Any other ideas? -- Ray tracing rules: http://ray-tracer.blogspot.com /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
