I have tried the
169.09 and 169.09-r9 driver but they do the same. Kernel is 2.6.23-gentoo-r9
vesa driver works

I just had the same prob and wasted endless hours for it! 
I downgraded to nvidia-drivers-100.14.19 (nvidia-drivers-100.14.23 would probably work too) which solve the prob for me. It seems that the new drivers have a problem with the 7600GT!
I hope this helps  |

I have a 7600GT and have had no problems with the 169.09 driver. I've used every driver version released from 100.14.19 to 169.12 and they have all worked.
