After a fresh install my graphics card Nvidia GTX 460 is not detected by Xorg. startx shows "(EE) No devices detected" and lspci shows a "VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device", but does not show GTX 460 or similar (I guess it should).

I have xorg-server-1.9.5, gentoo-sources-2.6.39, nvidia-drivers-270.41.06. For the kernel settings I followed the Gentoo nVidia Guide. The following is the Xorg.0.log.

Is Udev started ?

It won’t see the card until you :
Code:
 rc-update add udev sysinit && /etc/init.d/udev start

No problem ;)

I'm glad it fixed it for you :)

I ran across the same "story" myself, and I almost lost half a day time
until I noticed I even had not started udev at all, well... :D

Cheers
