Put the version you don't want in /etc/portage/package.mask; see `man portage` for details, but for example if you don't want 337.12 or newer, you would do something like this: /etc/portage/package.mask: >=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-337.12 Then doing `emerge -u x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers` will downgrade it. -- With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : tom...@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D
