I have not been able to get the nv drivers to work. It has been so

found the link on the xorg site. It wasn't very useful for me. I do
have xf86-video-nv installed tho. I thought that was it. However,
when I change the driver in xorg.conf to nv, no more GUI.
Instead of editing xorg.conf, move it out of the way and let X figure
things out for itself.
You could also try the VESA drivers, slow but reliable.
OK. How do I do the VESA drivers?
Add 'vesa' to your VIDEO_CARDS variable in make.conf, then emerge
-DautvN xorg-drivers. And change the Driver in xorg.conf from 'nvidia'
to 'vesa'.

Thanks. I remembered after hitting reply to set it in make.conf. I got
some done anyway. I'll report back what blows up. O_O
