Well, I have an athlon, a via-based-board and a nvidia GF3. Only problem is, that my consolefont changes after starting X. I do not use framebuffer, because when I do this, I cannot use TV out (vesafb and TV out was working with some older versions of the driver, something before 4496 iirc). No problems at all with 3D stuff (playing RtCW, UT2k3 and ssam1&2). I'm using agpgart. The ebuilds are working perfect for me since I installed gentoo the first time.
