Warning: using ${PN} with a clang-built kernel is largely untested
Kernel ${KV_MAJOR}.${KV_MINOR} is either known to break this version of ${PN}
or was not tested with it. It is recommended to use one of:
<=sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-${NV_KERNEL_MAX}.x
<=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-${NV_KERNEL_MAX}.x
You are free to try or use /etc/portage/patches, but support will
not be given and issues wait until NVIDIA releases a fixed version
(Gentoo will not accept patches for this).
Do _not_ file a bug report if run into issues.
${T}
Currently loaded NVIDIA modules do not match the newly installed
libraries and may prevent launching GPU-accelerated applications.
The easiest way to fix this is usually to reboot.
Detected that the current kernel command line is using 'slub_debug=',
this may lead to system instability/freezes with this version of
${PN}. Bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/796329
***WARNING***
You are installing a version of ${PN} known not to work
with a GPU of the current system. If unwanted, add the mask:
echo '${NV_LEGACY_MASK}' > ${EROOT}/etc/portage/package.mask/${PN}
echo '${NV_LEGACY_MASK}' >> ${EROOT}/etc/portage/package.mask
...then downgrade to a legacy branch if possible. For details, see:
https://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_32667.html
Open source variant of ${PN} was selected, be warned it is experimental
and only usable with Turing / Ampere and later GPUs, aka GTX 1650+.
Please also see: ${EROOT}/usr/share/doc/${PF}/html/kernel_open.html
Many features are not yet implemented in the drivers and limitations are
to be expected. Please do not report non-build/packaging bugs to Gentoo.
Switch back to USE=-kernel-open to restore functionality if needed for now.
