I just wanted you to know that you should DL the unified driver direct from nVidia and use their install method. It checks your kernel and configures and compiles the module for it. I have a AMD64 and it compiled, installed and runs with no problems. It will install the equilant of | Code: | | emerge nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx nvidia-settings |
Good Luck Guys |

I'm not sure my problem is the same as everyone else's - KDE crashes before it fully starts up - but anyway I'm finally back to normal, at least for my requirements:
KDE 3.4
Kernel 2.6.11-gentoo-r4
nvidia-kernel 1.0.6629-r4
nvidia-glx 1.0.6629-r1
This combination, among many others involving kernel 2.6.11, was giving me grief until I commented out the following from my xorg.conf:
| Code: | | #Option "RenderAccel" "true" |
Not sure what it was for; I don't play games, and some of the advanced "eye candy" stuff doesn't seem to work (but I don't care); main thing is I can use the faster nvidia drivers and have a good screen saver + power management again. |

Just an FYI: I have this combination working perfectly...
media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.6629-r4
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.11-r6
A simple emerge works great!
