There are no nvidia-drivers compatible with xorg-server-1.10,
as I discovered this morning to my cost.
Any fix, ... or just wait for them to appear in portage?

Thanks for that ... might give it a try ... or just wait for those
drivers to turn up in portage. I am lazy.

The 270.30 driver doesn't work well for me... When ever I maximize konsole the whole screen locks up and all I could do is sysrq reboot  |

| Code: | mkdir -p /usr/local/portage && echo 'PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"' >> /etc/make.conf
mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers
cd /usr/local/portage/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers
wget http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=266775
mv attachment.cgi\?id\=266775 nvidia-drivers-270.30.ebuild
nano -w nvidia-drivers-270.30.ebuild (search for 270.18 and replace to 270.30)
cp -r /usr/portage/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers/files ./
ebuild nvidia-drivers-270.30.ebuild digest
ebuild nvidia-drivers-270.30.ebuild depend
ebuild nvidia-drivers-270.30.ebuild merge
eselect opengl set nvidia
echo 'x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-270.30' >> /etc/portage/profile/package.provided |
Reboot.
This work for me.

| Any word when the new 96.x drivers will be in the stable tree to upgrade xorg? Or has Nvidia fixed the 270 detection code to work with Nforce2s and Gforce4s? |
