HTH, Mark Hi Frank, It's July 4th, 3 days later, and nvidia-drivers-325.08 is now in portage. I don't know when it became available - today or yesterday - but 1 day for NVidia to get the driver out 3 days for Gentoo devs to get it into portage isn't too bad in my mind. Just curious if you've tried it yet? Cheers, Mark

My personal experience with major kernel revision jumps like this is that it's best to give NVidia a few days and to watch their web site for a new version. They typically update very quickly.

I have no idea whether that new release fixes it but it is a good guess. In general with these sorts of issues I would suggest just giving it a day or two before logging a bug to give everybody a chance to catch up. Apparently 3.10 changed significantly during the rcs and Nvidia got tired of regular updates so they decided to just wait for final release. Rich

They shouldn't be paying attention. The nvidia folks are obviously lagging. The few reports I've encountered about this problem go back to 3.10-r1 and the nvidia project should have become involved back then. But I suppose my impatience is getting the better of me. I like to put these new releases behind me as quickly as I can. Frank Peters
