I'm told that nvidia-kernel with the 2.6.6 kernel requires an "8K stack
size" rather than a "4K stack size". I give up - hows that done? In
the kernel? If so, where? Using nvidia-kernel & -glx 1.0.5336. Any
advice - any advice at all - sincerely appreciated. Thanks.

I believe it's a configuration option. There was an announcement of the new
kernel on slashdot.org, where this was discussed. Try there.

it came up recently. there's a patch for it, but i'm not aware if it's
been incorporated to the portage tree yet.

IIRC no need to do anything, since 8K is the default. Kernel 2.6.6 has
an option to reduce it to 4K in the 'kernel hacking' section. Just don't
select that feature.

The latest love kernel has patched the nvidia problem. Hit
forums.gentoo.org and do a search for love-sources! =)
