    Hi all

    Just a quick question, as it was posted on the list
    nvidia has released some new drivers, i've yet to try
    these drivers but at the moment im having to use
    -CURRENT to be able to get the previous release
    to work properly and they did very well. I rebuilt my
    world/kernel with -CURRENT and then my software, xorg,
    gnome 2.6 etc. My questions is, everything ive
    compiled was with gcc 3.4.x thats in -CURRENT if i
    downgrade to 5.2.1 Release will this cause any
    problems with the software i compiled with the newer
    gcc. Reasons being for changing as i dont like being
    that much on the bleeding edge as im just a user not a
    developer, saying that thou these new drivers might
    not work out for me and i may end up going back to
    -CURRENT, as i had the libpthread > libr_c problem and
    had to map them with libmap.conf

    Anyway any opinions please as im going to do this
    tonight and if it means it will screw things up i
    might just reinstall.

    Thanks Again

    Glyn
