9 First you have to decide if you want to use the free or the closed
10 nvidia driver. note: the closed source driver is only necessary if you
11 need 3d support e.g. for games.
12
13 Then set your VIDEO_CARDS variable in /etc/make.conf to the driver you
14 want to use, this should pull in the driver you need as an dependency
15 of xorg-server.
16
17 nano -w /etc/make.conf
18 add the line VIDEO_CARDS="nv" #for open source driver
19 or VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" #for the binary nvidia driver
20 hit ctrl+x to exit and y to apply the changes
21 then emerge -av xorg-server
22 and see if the driver you want to use is pulled in as dependency
23 after emerge is finished run xorgconfig.
24
25 hope this helps.
