Hi,
I have a problem with build a driver for my nvidia card...
I am trying to run optimus on my new laptop, but by now I can't even compile a driver xD so I am kind of stuck

Please help!

kernel version : 3.11.6 ( I have use two line patch on it to reverse changes wich should came with 3.12 cuz my Ralink wifi wasnt worked )

[ebuild U ] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-331.17 [331.13] USE="X acpi (multilib) tools -pax_kernel"

I personally use official binaries from NVidia.com for various reasons, might give that a try.
