That's because eselect requires the files in different locations. Use the ebuilds instead.
| Code: | | emerge nvidia-drivers |
Choose the correct driver version for your video card. |

Look in the ebuild.
| Code: | $ grep patch /usr/local/portage/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers/nvidia-drivers-100.14.11.ebuild
epatch "${FILESDIR}"/NVIDIA_glx-defines.patch
epatch "${FILESDIR}"/NVIDIA_glx-glheader.patch |
So set up your FILESDIR. Copy the files from /usr/portage/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers/files/ to the ebuild's "files" subdirectory.
Also, don't do "ebuild blah.ebuild install", just digest it then emerge it.
| Code: | ebuild nvidia-drivers-100.14.11.ebuild digest
emerge =nvidia-drivers-100.14.11 |

I've rewritten the wiki so hopefully it's much clearer as to what to do with ebuilds  |

The Wiki was excellent, it worked perfectly on my PCI-E 8600GTS, and the .11 was the only driver that worked on my card.
Kudos.
