i noticed that lotz of ppl have problems instaling the card
i had some problems myself to so i decided to make a little on how i installed my card.

first i ran the /usr/XR11/bin/xf86config

chosing the standard nvidia chipset --> dont try to test x it wont work !!
the i emerged the nvidia latest drivers who are still masked at time of writing v5328

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~86" emerge nvidia-glx
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~86" emerge nvidia-kernel

then i added the load "glx" in the /etc/X11/XF86Config file

and changed these settings for my card
Code:

# Device configured by xf86config:

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "GeforceFX5700"
    Driver      "nvidia"
    Option      "NvAGP" "3"
    Option      "HWCursor" "true"
    Option      "CursorShadow" "true"
    Option      "CursorShadowAlpha" "32"
    Option      "MultisampleCompatibility" "1"
    Option      "RenderAccel" "true"
    Option      "PageFlip" "true"
    Option      "WindowFlip" "true"
    #VideoRam    131072


glxgears gives me those fps at fullscreen


Code:

4918 frames in 5.0 seconds = 983.600 FPS
1286 frames in 5.0 seconds = 257.200 FPS
1276 frames in 5.0 seconds = 255.200 FPS
1237 frames in 5.0 seconds = 247.400 FPS
1247 frames in 5.0 seconds = 249.400 FPS
1281 frames in 5.0 seconds = 256.200 FPS
