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.  |

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. |
