Little more left to do.Since your xconfig is a messed up now and you didn,t have Beryl or any 3D because of wrong
driver read above post .Be nice if they fixed it next release thats all we were talking about. It,s not just these
cards there are a lot of them messed up in 3.4a & 3.4e.

boot without X, downgrade the driver with emerge, restart X

not that difficult.....

Big deal for newbie. I do not think that this is the good impression that will get more people to Sabayon.

It would be nice to have such things working OOTB. But trying to maintain a cutting-edge distro, while keeping support for ancient hardware may not be an easy thing to do.

I think I am not total newbie anymore and I was able to fix these things, but I make my living in computers, not everyone does though. It is not hard to imagine that this might be a real drawback for a first time Linux user who is trying "this strange Linux thing" and sees, that it just does not work.
Most of these people just say it is a crap and get back to Win. Not good imho.

On the other side, I understand that this might be a problem with portage that does not allow two both drivers installed.
Maybe a thing for Equo ?

Well hoped they would look into this in this release Ubuntu and other have a scrip that lets you pick
the driver.Vector live selects the older driver and then you can update to the driver you want
either way you don,t have to edit x-config to remove the NV junk.
