pelargos,
Plase post the following,
| Code: | wgetpast /var/log/Xorg.0.log
wgetpast /etc/X11/xorg.conf
wgetpaste /usr/src/linux/.config |
The nvidia kernel module has loaded but the nvidia Xorg driver has not. Those files should give some pointeres as to why not and what needs to be done to fix it.

Try to change EFI frame buffer to vesa frame buffer in your kernel config.

@Deadly Assassin,
We need a consistent data set. The xorg.0.log you linked says,
| Code: | [ 39.734] (EE) NVIDIA: Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module. Please check your
[ 39.734] (EE) NVIDIA: system's kernel log for additional error messages. |
bu the lsmod, shows the module loaded.
I have no confidence I am looking at a self consistent data set.
@pelargos,
Please post the files I asked for as they are now and no trying your own ideas meanwhile. It makes remote diagnostics harder.

pidsley,
There are three drivers for nVidia graphics cards.
The old abandoned nv driver, which was nVidias open source offering. No 3D acceleration.
The community produced nouveau, which is open source and provides some3D hardware acceleration
The nvidia-drivers binary blob.
There are varing degrees of incompatibility between these drivers. The nv driver used to tolerate vesa or uvesa frambuffers but not anything targeted to nVidia hardware.
Two drivers for the same piece of hardware always ends in tears.
nouveau requres a kernel mode piece and KMS support and is incompatible with the binary blob. nouveau gives you a framebuffer console at no extra change, so you must not choose any hardware framebuuer options.
The binary blob driver won't reliably work with any framebuffer console at all - see the warning message if you try it. It won't work if nouveau is in the kernel, nor if there are any nVidia framebuffer drivers.
The OP wants the nVidia bianry blob so anything to do with nouveau, except removing it from the kernel, is misleading.

Thank you. As I mentioned, I have a lot to learn about Gentoo 
I will be very interested to see how this problem gets solved (I generally read much more than I post -- I should follow my own advice). |

Alright, try this:
Run to see if nvidia module is loaded. If it is not loaded try to load it by hand
Did you get any errors on console? Check also dmesg for errors.
It may be the nvidia module you are trying to load was not built for kernel you are running.

I have no experience with EFI, can you build and boot a kernel without EFI framebuffer and try loading nvidia again?

Do you have exact same error?

pelargos,
Its interesting that your kernel is called 3.4.3-pf.
Please post the output of and | Code: | | readlink /usr/src/linux |
I have a feeling that you are building nvidia-drivers against one kernel while you run another.

This kernel was built on Saturday.
Please post everything on forums, only huge logs go to pastebin.

pelargos,
Your uname -a shows | Code: | | 3.4.3-pf #7 SMP Sat Jul 7 07:52:15 UTC 2012 |
Which tells that you have built this kernel 7 times and your last build of it was at Sat Jul 7 07:52:15 UTC.
We can infer that your /usr/src/linux symlink points to this kernel tree too.
When was your last kernel build ?
If it was later than Sat Jul 7 07:52:15 UTC, then you have remade the kernel but are not using it for some reason.
At Wed Jul 11, 2012 2:18 pm (UTC+1) a few posts up you said | pelargos wrote: | | I removed EFi so? i have the same results........ |
Your runnig kernel predates that post, so you were clearly not testing with your new kernel, which is why you got the same results.
Did you forget to mount /boot before you copied the new kernel over>
Did you name it incorrectly, so its in /boot but not being loaded?
Please check your kernel install. is a good test of the the running kernel.
Just now, you are not running the kernel you think you are. Welcome to the club, we all do that from time to time.

/dev/BOOT is a placeholder for real boot device. If your fstab has /dev/BOOT, /dev/ROOT, etc then you skipped editing fstab during install.

Hey i fixed the most of the errors... i recompiled the kernel and copied it to boot as 3.4.3-pf (and i reinstalled grub) and removed linux-3.4.3-pf and it starts slim and x but the pointer is an X and xfce doesn't work should i recompile xfce??? and secondly i tried to recompile nvidia-drivers and it shows me some errors... see: bpaste.net/show/34659/ Answer soon please because i want to enjoy gentoo poweah!!!  |

pelargos,
The good news first - your emerge nvidia-drivers log is good. It shows a clean build of nvidia.
Indeed, it must have worked as you can start the xserver now, even if you can't move the mouse.
Mouse and keyboard issues are often related to to the event interface driver for Xorg. Do the following and retest.
| Code: | | emerge xf86-input-evdev -1 |
this will install the driver if you don't have it and rebuild if if you do have it.
This makes sure its built for the right version of Xorg.
You didn't post your /var/log/Xorg.0.log, so I can't be sure that its your issue.
