So this page finally loaded today: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Video_Card_Support_Under_XGL#nVidia And it says: nVidia GeForce 4 Go 440 32Mb (with latest x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-1.0.8774) So again, how can I get this driver back since it seems to be missing from portage now?! *sigh* -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
