unable to use nv and NVIDIA GeForce 8400M with gentoo and xorg 7.2 , xorg-server 1.3

[Frank Munsche]

Hi Aaron, Bryce

i've just reconized at your pages that there are some bugfixes of the nv 
driver 5 minutes ago:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-nv/tree/src/g80_sor.c?id=0887084730af8428e902dabc6e00c505f383f57f
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nv/

I'll give gentoo's x11-base/xorg-server 1.3.0.0-r2 a try ...


thank you very much!

regards, Frank
