[gentoo-user] Linus breaks nvidia again

For you weirdos who track Linus's git repo every day, and who use the proprietary nvidia-drivers, you need to make this change to the nvidia code for their kernel module (nvidia.ko): --- /usr/src/nv/nv-acpi.c.orig 2012-07-29 04:09:03.336096276 -0700 +++ /usr/src/nv/nv-acpi.c 2012-07-29 04:0
