I've seen reference to nvidia 6106 drivers in these forums but
emerge sync only finds something called
app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-nvidia
Is this the package people are talking about?

When I do
| Code: | | ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-nvidia |
It still tells me that that particular ebuild is masked. I thought that this was supposed unmask that build.

And then it tells me a possible candidate is
app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-nvidia-1.0.6106-r1
and if I do
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-nvidia-1.0.6106-r1
It says it wants an '=' sign. I give it the '=' sign and it tells me it's
masked again and proposes the same package as a candidate.
Grrrrr.

the packages you are looking for are media-video/nvidia-kernel and media-video/nvidia-glx.
Also, ACCEPT_KEYWORDS on the command line is a bad idea. It's better to use the /etc/portage files. read man portage or search the forum for more info.

/usr/portage/media-video/nvidia-glx shows nvidia-glx-1.6.6103-r3.ebuild.
However, emerge search nvidia only shows the older version 4496-r2.
Why won't it let me install the later version?

Are you running 64bit Gentoo??? If not you do not need to | Code: | | emerge app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-nvidia-1.0.6106-r1 |
This is purelly for 32 bit emulation purposes. If you are running 64 bit Gentoo then there is no need to | Code: | | ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" |
there is no x86 version for this package. There is no need seeing as x86 is 32 bit and this package is 32 bit emulation. if its the latest Nvidia-glx drivers your after then try (as root) | Code: | | echo media-video/nvidia-glx >> /etc/portage/package.keywords |
followed by This will give you the latest version. |
