Where did you hear this? Just for your information, I'm running the xfs-sources and the nvidia drivers are working great for me.

When I tried emerging the nvidia drivers portage went ahead and downloaded linux-2.4.19-gentoo and build the nvidia drivers against that. It wasn't until later that I found out the linux-2.4.19-gentoo drivers don't have the XFS patch...thus temporarily breaking my machine. After a quick symlink fix thing should work.

I have never had a problem with nvidia drivers on any of the gentoo kernel sources...as long as my filesystem is included.

I had problems with it wanting to download some other kernel sources as well so I used "emerge nvidia-driver nvidia-gls -nodeps" or something like that and it worked fine installing just the two packages I wanted.

The problem for some of us is that if we want to run nvidia-kernel-1.0.2880 it applies
to kernel-2.4.19 and kernel-2.4.19 doesn't have any XFS driver patches applied to it
and when I emerge xfs-sources they only apply to kernel-2.4.18.

Maybe these dependency problems are easy to sor out, I just don't know how to go about it.
