The package provides the installation files for NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller Driver version 73.1.4.0. If the driver is already installed on your system, updating (overwrite-installing) may fix various issues, add new functions, or just upgrade to the available version.
GeForce Experience automatically notifies you of new driver releases from NVIDIA. With a single click, you can update the driver directly, without leaving your desktop. Game Ready Drivers provide the best possible gaming experience for all major new releases, including Virtual Reality games. Prior to a new title launching, our driver team is working up until the last minute to ensure every performance tweak and bug fix is included for the best gameplay on day-1.

NVCleanstall lets you customize the NVIDIA GeForce Driver package by removing components that you don't need (or want). This not only keeps things tidy, but also lowers disk usage and memory footprint.
Unlike the NVIDIA custom installation, you can unselect packages like 'Stereo 3D Glasses', 'USB-C', Notebook Optimizations or Telemetry from the NVIDIA drivers.
Version History
Introduction
The goal of these instructions is to provide Funtoo Linux users with a reliable, consistent set of instructions for upgrading Funtoo Linux from 1.3 to 1.4.
Note that while Portage has some ability to upgrade packages, it is not perfect at performing complex updates right now. One of the primary motivations to have official Funtoo releases is for the purpose of identifying these upgrade challenges and implement improvements to Portage and associated tools to make the process better. Before Portage can be made better, we need to start documenting the various commands required to perform these updates, and that is where these instructions come in.
Overview
With the intended purpose of these instructions in mind, it is recommended to perform a fresh install of Funtoo Linux 1.4 if possible. This is not practical or feasible, follow the steps in this documentation to upgrade Funtoo Linux. The process is straightforward.
Please assist in ensuring that these instructions are complete, make changes to the page that are needed to make these instructions 100% reliable, and if the instructions seem to not work properly, please consider opening a bug at https://bugs.funtoo.org or asking for assistance at https://forums.funtoo.org or #funtoo on freenode. Do not make major changes to this document without first opening a bug related to the issue so your changes can be reviewed. Thank you!
Set Release and Sync
Use your favorite editor in /etc/ego.conf, set the release to 1.4:
Then, run ego sync:
If you are seeing an error like
at the bottom of the ego sync output, that can be ignored. It is an expected error and caused by a new portage command that can't be handled by the installed portage version but will be resolved by the new version that is installed during the upgrade process.
Set gfxcard mix-ins and VIDEO_CARDS
In Funtoo Linux 1.4, the VIDEO_CARDSmake.conf setting has been updated and mix-ins have been created to allow you to easily choose common configurations. It is strongly recommended that you select your video hardware using Funtoo mix-ins, not VIDEO_CARDS directly, by choosing a mix-in from the following list:
Funtoo Graphics Mix-Ins
gfxcard-intel- This mix-in enables all DRI-based Intel integrated graphics, including support for Vulkan and video acceleration where available. Do an
emerge libva-intel-driverafterwards to ensure you have full video acceleration support. gfxcard-amdgpu- This mix-in enables support for modern Radeon cards, Southern Islands -- GFX Core 6 (see this x.org reference) and greater. Includes Vulkan and video acceleration where available. Drivers are built for both the Gallium framework (modern replacement for DRI framework) and DRI framework. Glamor is used to accelerate 2D operations.
gfxcard-radeon- This mix-in enables support for modern Radeon cards, R600 through Northern Islands -- GFX Core 4 and 5 (see this x.org reference). Drivers are built for the Gallium framework (modern replacement for DRI framework) as well as DRI framework. Glamor is used to accelerate 2D operations.
gfxcard-older-ati- Use this mix-in to enable support for R300 up to (but not including) R600 Radeon cards -- -- GFX Core 3 (see this x.org reference). DRI as well as Gallium-based drivers are enabled.
gfxcard-ancient-ati- Use this mix-in to enable support pre-R300 cards -- GFX Core 1 and 2 (see this x.org reference). These drivers are DRI-based.
gfxcard-nvidia- Use this to enable support for proprietary NVIDIA drivers. You will also need to
emerge nvidia-kernel-modules, blacklistnouveauand add yourself to thevideogroup. See this documentation for more details. Note that Funtoo now has two catpkgs for NVIDIA proprietary graphics --nvidia-driversandnvidia-kernel-modules-- to aid the use of NVIDIA acceleration on containers. gfxcard-nvidia-legacy- Proprietary NVIDIA drivers like above, but the legacy version of the driver that supports older hardware. See https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/unix/ and browse the specific driver version that
emergeis installing to get detailed compatibility information. gfxcard-nouveau- Use this mix-in to enable support for Open Source nouveau drivers.
Another important change for NVIDIA proprietary graphics users -- a new package nvidia-kernel-modules is now used to install the NVIDIA kernel modules. nvidia-drivers will only install the userland components. To emerge both, emerge nvidia-kernel-modules which will in turn pull in nvidia-drivers. This is set up this way because it is possible to set up an NVIDIA-accelerated container (see LXD/GPU Acceleration) that needs nvidia-drivers but not kernel modules.
Here is an example of how to add a mix-in to your profile:
Upgrade Toolchain
Funtoo 1.4, gcc has been updated to 9.2.0 series by default, so lets take advantage of that, and also update binutils and glibc. Note that multiple versions of gcc, 9.2.0 and 7.4.1, may get pulled in in while upgrading gcc. Only 9.2.0 is needed in Funtoo 1.4, so once 9.2.0 is installed, you may cancel the emerge of older versions of gcc to save time.
World Update
Nvidia V096 Ver 1.44
Before starting the world update, it is a good idea to upgrade python. Do so as follows:
Once this is done, we will temporarily want to tell emerge to build python modules for versions 2.7, 3.6 and 3.7. We are doing this so that dependencies resolve correctly for installed packages still using python-3.6, and will 'undo' this setting and rebuild these packages later:
At this point, you should be all set to perform a world update. We will exclude perl from upgrading now as we will do that near the end of the install.
It seems that excluding perl can cause some issues with the dep graph currently. If that is the case you can try the complete world update.
Perl Upgrade
If you have not excluded perl from the world update, you probably already have the current perl version installed. But you can verify that with
If there is no update available you are good. Otherwise you need to install it with
followed by

to make sure that there are no outdated perl packages left.
If you have excluded perl from the world update you would have a complete but old perl installation. Now that things are upgraded, we can take care of perl, and rebuild all perl modules and perl-dependent things against the new perl:
Nvidia V096 Ver 1.4
Finishing Steps
Remove python-3.6 as it will no longer be used, and rebuild anything that has python-3.6 modules installed:
If you are using debian-sources-lts, it has now been updated to 4.19.37_p6. Edit /etc/boot.conf as necessary and run ego boot update to ensure the new kernel is booted upon next system startup.
etc-update and Reboot
Before rebooting, it is a good idea to run etc-update to apply updates to any configuration files that require updating:
Now, you should be able to reboot into Funtoo Linux 1.4:
Enjoy!
