Yea, done tried that. I tried different kernels, different nvidia

WAG - have you tried the nv drivers?
I did but I couldn't get X to even start. I guess something is not set
right somewhere. I have nv in make.conf and been there since I built
this thing so sort of clueless on why it don't work.
Maybe it's because I don't use the latest greatest cards but I don't
think I have ever really had trouble with nvidia drivers. Surely it
can't be good luck. ;-)
While I am at it, what is the syntax to mask a package higher than a
certain version in package.mask? I tired =>package.name.version and
tried >= package.name.version but the former doesn't work and seems to
ignore it and the later makes emerge print a boo boo message. On my old
rig, I want to mask anything above the 173 series. So far, I haven't
had the light bulb moment and never can remember how to do this.
Thanks.
