I emerged nvidia-kernel

I would try at the same time. It can be done after the fact though. Don't forget to do the opengl-update nvidia.

Also: Your english is fine clearly understandable.

Hehe, well it did change something (had to do emerge nvidia-glx then opengl-update nvidia) Now I just get

Try this.

emerge nvidia-kernel nvidia-settings nvidia-glx

Once this is done I would suggest get out of X init 3 or something.

update-opengl nvidia

modprobe nvidia

restart X

If that does not work, I am not sure.

I'm getting the same problem.

I've been trying this with 2 different nvidia cards, 3 different versions of the drivers and overall about 37 times. :evil:

I think I'm starting to go nuts.

Something is reallllllllllly fsck'd up here!

Nanoy,

There is a problem with composite and the Nvidia drivers. You either need to take out composite or insert Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "1"
