but nvidia-settings give me an error

Code:

You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.

Console output:

Code:

ERROR: NV-CONTROL extension version 1.6 is too old; the minimimum required
       version is 1.11.


nvidia-xconfig cannot be found...and yes the driver in xorg.conf is "nvidia"

i tried to mask the nvidia-settings exept the oldest ebuild (media-video/nvidia-settings-1.0.20070621)

but i still get the same error

it's been a while but I believe if you check nvidia's site, the TNT2 set is NOT supported by their latest drivers or settings. You may also want to check x.org's site.

i know,

that's why i use the nvidia legacy drivers supporting the TNT2 (version 71.86.06)

there have to be a possibility to configure the driver in the past with a nvidia-settings utilitiy.....where to get it / an ebuild?
