everytime I start X I get the following error:

(EE) Failed to initalize GLX extension (Nvidia X driver not found)

I did an emerge on nvidia-glx and nvidia-modules
I also did modprobe nvidia added it to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 and modules-update

Any ideas?

Is the nvidia kernel module loaded?
Code:
lsmod
will tell you.
Are the nvidia device nodes under /dev created after the kernel module loads?
Code:
ls -la /dev/nvidia*
will tell you.
