In alt.os.linux.gentoo, Stephen Fairchild uttered these immortal words:

> None of the official nvidia drivers currently work with 2.6.9.

Not true. nvidia-kernel 1.0.5328-r1 won't work with the 2.6.9 kernel (I
found that out earlier) but I managed to get the 1.0.6111 ebuild in ~x86 to
work. It's a shame because I was trying not to use any ~x86 ebuilds but I
had so many problems with the 2.6.8 kernels and the 2.6.9 kernel is working
so well I'll make an exception in this case.
