yeah i know, it shouldn't have taken that long to get it working, but I'm a newbie and grub sucks.

Just a random "gotta tell someone so my efforts weren't for nothing" post. ;)

You have a working Gentoo build...your efforts are far from wasted. :)

And for your peace of mind, it took me 3 days to get from stage1 to stage3. ;)

(Ok, I'm not asleep yet...)

I kinda cheated and went from stage 3.

I could probably go back and redo from stage 1, but this isn't going to be an intense workstation and hell, I think a 1.2Tbird with 512mb ram is "optimized" on its own. :D

Just use the nv driver for now, it's pretty decent. Uncomment load glx, and put nv instead of nvidia and you should be in business.
