[gentoo-user] latest gentoo-sources and nvidia ?
Does anyone already successfully run gentoo-sources-3.13.7 with nvidia-drivers? If yes, which version does work? I am still at 3.13.6 plus nvidia-drivers-331.49 Thanks, Stefan

The newest: gentoo-sources-3.13.7 and nvidia-drivers-334.21-r1. I've installed nvidia-drivers with USE=X acpi multilib tools uvm -pax_kernel. Had to add the USE flag uvm to get it working. And I reconfigured acpi in the kernel config. But I had some acpi features in my kernel I didn't need for my hardware anyway, which I removed. I don't know if this was necessary for nvidia-drivers to get working. As framebuffer driver I've compiled the kernel with CONFIG_FB_VESA=y. The USE flag multililb is, of course, only necessary if you need it. Heiko

I followed your suggestions and run gnome now successfully with both the latest (stable) kernel and nvidia-drivers. USE-flag acpi ... I don't know if I still need that with systemd, I vaguely remember that it is somehow obsolete then. It pulled in sys-power/acpid now which wasn't there before. And /usr/lib64/systemd/system/acpid.service is disabled, so I might test removing it again. USE multilib: I don't know? Could someone point out what I could need that for? Thanks anyway, Stefan

I'm totally not a fan of systemd, and I admittedly haven't looked into the nvidia-drivers ebuild and patches, but I guess it applies the patch which is necessary to get nvidia-drivers working with an acpi enabled kernel. So this hasn't anything to do with the acpi daemon or systemd but the kernel as far as I know. USE multilib: I don't know? Could someone point out what I could need that for? This is needed if you want to run 32 bit software (e.g. 32 bit games) with an amd64 (64 bit) system. Heiko
