I just upgraded to the 2.6.7 kernel and I'm having the trouble everyone else is...although I have read some people worked around it.....I was curious as to what the fix for this is....and just in case you have no clue what I'm talking about I'm referring to the "Failure to load the Nvidia kernel module" message....please give me some feed back

i didn't encounter any problems with 2.6.7. nvidia drivers working fine with -ck and -gentoo here. i only got an error similar to yours as i forgot to do 'modules-update'

The fix is
| Code: | | # echo 'media-video/nvidia-kernel ~x86' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords && echo 'media-video/nvidia-glx ~x86' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords' && emerge --ask --verbose nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx |
This will let you install 5xxx drivers series which are needed for a >=2.6.6 kernel but are currently masked due to bugs https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=187632#1262220 (I'm getting screen glitches sometimes under X) |
