Well one thing to do would be to get rid of the "********************************************************" line by itself. Then try again, if it fails then post the log, or at least the last chunk where it fails.

That's odd, I though you were using the nv driver rather then the propietary nvidia module? That's what the xorg.conf you posted says anyways...

I did:

Code:
# emerge -uva nvidia-drivers


and on my kernel i have nothing with nvidia selected (because i had a problem earlier and had to disable it)

maybe i did something wrong in the xorgconifg?! should I change something?! to my xorg.conf or to my kernel?!
