is there any reason not to try drver version 8756?
6629 is very old. very, very old. Even older. It is old.
As I said, all other available versions in portage didn't compile or
load afterwards. Only one version (other than 6629, one of the 1.0.7...)
did both successfully but crashed when starting X.
I ran into the same problem after upgrading the kernel to
gentoo-sources-2.6.16-r3.
And don't have any problems with most recent nvidia drivers:
media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.8756
media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.8756
media-video/nvidia-settings-1.0.20051122-r3
Did you rebuild nvidia-glx and all the dependencies?
HTH,
Sasha
