I was seeing this error recently, even before my recent upgrade of gcc.

emerge --newuse world

emerge nvidia-driver and retry.

Well as you said I emerged nvidia-driver and that has now killed X for me. Tried following the Gentoo nvidia guide again, but unable to get X up again.

Things I have noticed.
1) In Dmesg Linux version lists 'Linux version 2.6.16-gentoo-r9' and (gcc version 3.4.6 (Gentoo 3.4.6-r1, ssp-3.4.5-1.0, pie-8.7.9)

Since I just upgraded GCC to 4 should this be GCC 4 now, does this mean the kernel needs to be compiled again?

2) Also in Dmesg 'nvidia: version magic '2.6.16-gentoo-r9 SMP gcc-4.1' should be '2.6.16-gentoo-r9 SMP gcc-3.4'
This line starts popping up several times during the rest of Dmesg.

3) emerge --update --deep --newuse --world;revdep-rebuild;revdep-rebuild keeps stating similar to what I wrote originally up above

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "media-video/nvidia-glx".
(dependency required by "media-libs/libsdl-1.2.11" [ebuild)

NOTE: There is no nvidia-glx in portage.

4) Startx fails with the following
FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (lib/modules/2.6.16-gentoo-r9/video/nvidia.ko): Invalid module format
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module!
(EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting ***

NOTE: I have not changed my xorg.conf.

                        Thanks for any help,
                        Sean
