Re: [proaudio] failed nvidia drivers.

[alex stone <compose59@xxxxxxxxx>]

Lucio,
It didn't work for me. The build process seemed to go ok, but i got
the usual nvidia fatal not found error when o rebooted, after doing
all the usual stuff, and i'm not sure i followed the 3rd party ebuild
thing correctly, so i can't say with certainty what the error might
be. (I'm only a user, not a coder.)


Thanks for trying to help out

Alex.
