FYI, I've read quite a few negative comments about the latest nvidia drivers, but I must say I have had the opposite experience.
On my labrat box, I'm running a newly installed latest gentoop 2004 2.6.2 system with ~x86 everything and glibc with nptl activated, so the 5336 level nvidia drivers were selected. I noted: 1. On my nforce2 video card, I notice a 300fps speed improvement (glxgears) over prior 4496 level drivers. 2. I have a VIA chipset. The new nvidia driver is smart enough to disable AGP support even if requested instead of hanging the system as did the 4496 level driver. 3. I have no problem switching to-from an alternate console while X is active. No black screens as others have reported.
