The current open source OpenGL stack, especially for nvidia hardware, is not really capable of supporting games like EVE Online or SC2 using Wine. This is why myself, like so many others, still have to use the nvidia binary blob.
Since several versions of the nvidia kernel module one has to apply at least one minor patch to get the module compiled against a Pax / grsecuirty kernel. In order to successfully enable the PAX_USERCOPY option a second patch is needed. Initially the patch only allowed using the SLAB memory allocator, but thanks to the Pax team, an updated version now also allows the use of the default SLUB allocator.
See grsecurity forums for details.
I added a nvidia-driver ebuild incl. both patches to my overlay and filed a bug to get them added upstream, see #385837
My overlay is now in offical layman list

How to use my overlay
As my overlay was recently added to the layman list of overlays you can now easily add it running:
layman -S && layman -a quarks
or you checkout out the repository manually:
git clone git://www.startux.de/quarks.git
git clone http://www.startux.de/git/quarks.git

Again I created ebuilds for tools I came across recently:
- net-analyzer/dnsenum
DESCRIPTION="A perl script to enumerate DNS from a server"
HOMEPAGE="http://code.google.com/p/dnsenum/"
Very useful DNS information gathering tool during reconnaissance phase. Also part of the BackTrack distribution.
Both the standard and the big hosts file for brute forcing are provided in /usr/share/dnsenum !
- app-forensics/regripper
DESCRIPTION="Perl scripts to parse Windows registry files"
HOMEPAGE="http://regripper.wordpress.com/program-files/"
Set of perl scripts which take a Windows registry file as input, parse it and output the requested information, e.g:
# regripper -r /tmp/NTUSER.DAT -p printers
They are part of my overlay !

Installation
1. Unmask and install the Android SDK update manager:
emerge dev-util/android-sdk-update-manager
2. Add all users who should be allowed using it to the 'android' group:
gpasswd -a <user> android
3. In case you added yourself relog now, then run:
/opt/android-sdk-update-manager/tools/android
and install at least the platform-tools package
ADB will be at /opt/android-sdk-update-manager/platform-tools/adb
5. Finally edit your .bashrc file to add adb to your PATH:
export PATH="/opt/android-sdk-update-manager/platform-tools/:${PATH}"
Connecting
Add the following udev rules to e.g. /etc/udev/rules.d/80-android.rules:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="22b8", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
Plugin your Android device via usb
Test the connection
adb devices
That should give you a list of connected Android devices
Now what ?
