The driver "nv" is the non-3d-accelerated nvidia display driver that |
11 |
comes with Xfree/Xorg. The driver "nvidia" is what you use with the |
12 |
proprietary, binary-only drivers from NVIDIA. |

If "nvidia" isn't working, it sounds like you haven't properly installed |
15 |
your drivers. First, "emerge nvidia-glx" and then "emerge |
16 |
nvidia-kernel". Next, "modprobe nvidia" should load the kernel module. |
17 |
Finally, "opengl-update nvidia" should adjust lib paths such that the |
18 |
binary GL libs from NVIDIA are being used by X. |

If you have done all of this and X still isn't working, something else |
21 |
is wrong it would seem. Also, you might try to generate a config file |
22 |
by running "X -configure". This typically does a pretty good job of |
23 |
autodetecting and creating a xorg.conf. |
