whenever I change the Driver "nv" section in XFree86Config to Driver "nvidia"(after emerging nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel, k wont start. it says that it cant load the nvidia driver. Ive tried typing opengl-update nvidia, but it still wont work, and to get into x again i have to type opengl-update with no arguments. Has anyone had this problem?

Is the kernel module loading? i.e. if you do an 'lsmod' are you seeing NVdriver in the list of loaded moduled? If not, try manually loading it with a "modprobe NVdriver".
