I have used the "x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-390.157", but then there is the message:
Code:
# Ionen Wolkens <ionen@gentoo.org> (2023-03-30)
# NVIDIA dropped support for the 390.xx branch in December 2022[1].
#
# Users are free to unmask and keep using, but be warned it is very
# likely to be affected by security issues as NVIDIA does not track
# nor fix these for this branch anymore.
#
# Gentoo will keep it packaged for as long as reasonably possible
# (albeit masked) but no true support will be given nor patches
# for newer kernels. It is recommended to use 6.1.x LTS kernels or
# older (6.1.x will be supported until at least December 2026).
#
# Major issues will lead to removal without further warning, e.g.
# if no usable kernels left in tree, or if broken with a newer Xorg.
#
# >> It is recommended to switch to nouveau[2] drivers (regardless
#    of its worse performance), or ideally replace the hardware.

So i change the /etc/portage/make.conf:
Code:
VIDEO_CARDS="nouveau intel i915"


And also i have done this:
Code:
emerge --unmerge nvidia-drivers
emerge --update --deep --newuse @world
emerge --depclean -av
genkernel all


But now i have some issues: "dmesg | grep -i nv":
Code:

I am pretty sure i have disabled and uninstalled ALL old drivers, but that happen and i don't know what to do, because cinnamon and kde only works with software rendering.

Based on that dmesg output, you still have the nVidia driver installed and in use. How did you remove and disable it? You should remove its files, or direct the system not to load the module. If you upgrade to a newer kernel, that newer kernel should fail to load the old nVidia driver, but an upgrade is not required in order to solve this.

Something like
Code:

rm /lib/modules/6.0.2-gentoo/video/*

Plz replace with your own kernel version directory.
Also check
Code:

grep -ir nouve /etc/modprobe.d

and if you find it blacklisted then comment out the pertinent line.

According to man make.conf, the default for UNINSTALL_IGNORE prevents Portage from deleting kernel modules, so emerge --depclean is insufficient.
