READ PLEASE: Limbo Repository Xorg and nvidia-drivers

October 27th, 2009 AjeZ Leave a comment Go to comments

Hi folks, we would like to warn those of you using Limbo repository about a small issue.
We have updated the repository with the latest Xorg, but unfortunately in entropy there is still not a compatible version of nvidia-drivers. This will cause to you of seeing nothing (AKA Blank screen) and no keyboard/mouse working after reboot.
So if you are an Nvidia user, DON’T UPDATE Xorg related packages from Limbo!
If you want to do, you will have to compile nvidia-drivers on your own.
If you broke your system, your solution is to find a way to downgrade the packages using official repository OR use opensource drivers instead of proprietary drivers (”nv” instead of “nvidia” or “ati” instead of “fglrx” in /etc/X11/xorg.conf).
I remind you all that Limbo repository is for TESTING purpose ONLY! So if you are not an expert user, please be careful.

Cheers,
Sabayon Linux Staff
