Hello,

I just finished my first Gentoo installation, and like it so far, but am
having a problem. I have a GeForce4 Ti4200 video card, but cannot emerge
Nvidia-glx.

This is what i get when I type 'emerge nvidia-glx':

Calculating dependencies \
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy "~media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.4363"
have been masked.
!!! (dependency required by "media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.4363" [ebuild])

!!! Error calculating dependencies. Please correct.

I looked in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask, but could not find any
nvidia files that are masked.

Any help/ideas will be appreciated

Mike

Did you emerge nvidia-kernel yet?

I just tried emerging the kernel and it worked, but I get the same error
when I try to emerge nvidia-glx

Thanks for the reply,

Mike

I don't know why, but currently different versions of nvidia-kernel
and nvidia-glx are unmasked.

Try to emerge nvidia-kernel manually:

emerge /usr/portage/media-video/nvidia-kernel/nvidia-kernel-1.0.4363-r3.ebuild
emerge /usr/portage/media-video/nvidia-glx/nvidia-glx-1.0.4363.ebuild

Unless you're into gaming or high end 3D, you can fall back on the generic
Vesa mode driver for X. About the only thing you need to know is the
refresh rates for your screen and what your default screen size is along
with the color mode. After that the vesa mode should at least work with a
nice solid setting that doesn't require any adjustments to your monitor.

Thanks for the tip, kernel-1.0.4363 was still masked, but I was able to
emerge nvidia-kernel-1.0.4349-r2.ebuild (and the same version glx).

Thank You,
Mike
