Sorry
But I can't find how to tell portage that it shouldn't download the old
nvidia drivers thus i have downloaded the new one's from nvidia and
installed them with better performace than the old one's.
Regards

If you bypassed emerge, there is "inject". From the emerge man page: | Code: | inject (-i)
Injecting a package inserts a 'stub' for that package so that
Portage thinks that it is installed. It is handy if you need,
say, a binary version of XFree86 for esoteric hardware, or you
just like to roll your own packages. You must specify a cate-
gory and particular version of a package for injecting. For
example, emerge inject sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.4.19.

This may what you are looking for.
Or if you want to install exactly one particular version of a package, prepend the package name with =:
| Code: | | emerge =nvidia-glx-1.0.3123 |
If the package is masked as the new nvidia driver is, use | Code: | | ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge nvidia-glx |
to get the lastest package. |

I had problems with X before it took like 10 secs to start it but now only 1-2 secs.
