You don't give very much information. Can you at least say what
symptoms you are having? How about an X11 error line?

This does seem relevant, but I don't what it means. Can you use the
"nv" driver successfully? In your xorg.conf, set

# Driver "nvidia"
Driver "nv"

in the relevant section. If X works then, at least we know it's just
your nvidia driver that's broke. Does it modprobe/rmmod without errors?

Here I ran xorgcfg, and I am in now, but the resolution does not look good.
I cannot get the shinny themes I want, they look

The driver "nv" is the non-3d-accelerated nvidia display driver that
comes with Xfree/Xorg. The driver "nvidia" is what you use with the
proprietary, binary-only drivers from NVIDIA.

If "nvidia" isn't working, it sounds like you haven't properly installed
your drivers. First, "emerge nvidia-glx" and then "emerge
nvidia-kernel". Next, "modprobe nvidia" should load the kernel module.
Finally, "opengl-update nvidia" should adjust lib paths such that the
binary GL libs from NVIDIA are being used by X.

If you have done all of this and X still isn't working, something else
is wrong it would seem. Also, you might try to generate a config file
by running "X -configure". This typically does a pretty good job of
autodetecting and creating a xorg.conf.

Hi,

Also make sure that the kernel is not compiled with DRI enabled.
