Erm. "nv" is the open source driver that's part of X.org (full 2-D acceleration only). You'll need to change that to "nvidia" after installing nvidia-glx and rthe nvidia kernel module (provided by the nvidia-kernel package). Please read through the Gentoo nVidia Guide and follow the instructions there.

Let us know if you have further problems, and we'll try our best to help you get those resolved.
