I have all of this working on my Dell e1705 laptop. Significant details: |

2.6.15-suspend2-r8 |

[ebuild R ] media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.8756 0 kB |

[ebuild R ] x11-base/xorg-server-1.0.2-r3 USE="dri -debug -ipv6 |

-minimal -xprint" 0 kB |

Also I use the vesafb-tng framebuffer driver. |

bootsplash side of things is pretty straight-forward. |
