well, is it?
what's
Code:
modprobe nvidia
say?
check your /usr/src/linux-symlink and maybe your hardware. later nvidia-binary-drivers do not work with old(er) hardware, but compile (after a warning in the ebuild) and load.
reinstall nvidia-drivers, if necessary.
GOOD LUCK!

if it (the nvidia-binary driver; a kernel module) is correctly installed, you must be able to modprobe it. if this fails, you cannot use it.
Code:
lsmod
must list nvidia as a loaded module.
if you (want to) use nouveau, you do not need it.

(sorry, with kde/plasma i cannot help you.)
GOOD LUCK!
