All you have to do in order to get the proprietery nvidia drv working
is:
1) make sure the open src nvidia drv is not built in-kernel or as kernel
module:
========
Location:
-> Device Drivers
-> Graphics support
-> Support for frame buffer devices (FB [=n])
-> nVidia Framebuffer Support = [N]
========
2) emerge nvidia-drivers
3) make sure /etc/X11/xorg.conf has >Driver "nvidia"<, not "nv" in
section "Device"
4) eselect opengl set nvidia
