For Nvidia you should have the following kernel settings disabled.
| Code: | Device Drivers --->
Graphics support --->
< > nVidia Framebuffer Support
< > nVidia Riva support |
For your X setup:
vi /etc/make.conf
| Code: | | VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" |
rebuild the following if you have built X but did not include the above:
| Code: | emerge -v x11-base/xorg-drivers
emerge -v x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers |

These instructions are for the proprietary driver. OP: did you want to use the open source in-kernel driver or the proprietary one? |
