Yea, that does sound familiar. Trying to recall who could have had
that problem. Hmmmm. Oh, it was me !! lol This is my card info:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT200 [GeForce
GT 220] (rev a2)
Drivers:
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-270.41.19
That is the latest for my card that is in the tree. Now keep in mind,
going back to the older xorg fixed the Konsole and resizing issue I
had. So far, I'm not sure Firefox has its problem fixed. I'm going
to try it here in a few. Just close everything I can, type in sync
and open the thing and see if the smoke gets out. Oh, got to install
it again too. Almost forgot that.
It's funny in a way. I haven't been to the nvidia website in ages. I
just sort of guess at a version, try it and see if it works. If not,
try another one until I find one that does. There isn't that many in
the tree. I never use the latest because I have never had that new of
a card. :/
Thanks.

OK. Here is the info:
root@fireball / # equery list *xorg* *nvidia*
* Searching for *xorg* ...
[IP-] [ ] x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.9:0
[IP-] [ ] x11-base/xorg-server-1.9.5:0
* Searching for *nvidia* ...
[IP-] [ ] media-video/nvidia-settings-260.19.29:0
[IP-] [ ] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-270.41.19:0

I closed all I could and did a couple syncs to sort of minimize the
damage. I opened Firefox, it opened it's home page and about 2 or 3
seconds later, poof, the smoke got out. So, after all this, Firefox
still locks it up tight. I didn't touch the window, mouse or keyboard.
After I clicked to open Firefox, I let it do its thing until the lights
on the keyboard starting to blink.
Firefox I tested was the stable version in the tree.
Can I shoot it now ??
