Hello.. Ive got a dual GPU setup.. ATI Radeon 9600pro agp and nVidia vanta... heres lspci output:
00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8377 [KT400/KT600 AGP] Host Bridge
00:01.0 PCI bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8235 PCI Bridge

Heres what happens when I 'modprobe fglrx' or 'modprobe nvidia'
FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r7-Pauly/video/nvidia.ko): No such device
FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r7-Pauly/video/fglrx.ko): Operation not permitted

This is really annoying because I cant use glx :(
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
glxgears: Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual.

Maybe this will help you with ati drivers http://odin.prohosting.com/wedge01/gentoo-radeon-faq.html
Try reemerge nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx - maybe this will be helpful.

Your vanta won't work if you are using a driver newer than 6629, so check your version. Last I checked, 6629 is the current "stable" version in Gentoo.
