It's kernel related. 2.6.13 doesn't create the nvidia devicess correctly
with udev, which with 2.6.13 is default. You can try to put this in the
local.start if you want to use this nvidia kernel versions:
for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7; do
node="/dev/nvidia$i"
rm -f $node
mknod $node c 195 $i || echo "mknod \"$node\""
chmod 0660 $node || echo "chmod \"$node\""
chown :video $node || echo "chown \"$node\""
done
node="/dev/nvidiactl"
rm -f $node
mknod $node c 195 255 || echo "mknod \"$node\""
chmod 0666 $node || echo "chmod \"$node\""
chown :video $node || echo "chown \"$node\""
Hope it helps!

portage installed me diffferent versions of nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel
(1.0.6629-r6 and 1.0.6629-r4) should i install the same version? are there
newer versions available, or are these known not to work? right now i'm using
the nv driver, and i have everything i need (kde) working, though i'd like to
set up my nvidia card to its full capabilities
thanks

I used to have a similar problem, and it turned out to be a
misconfiguration of my monitor. Dig out the manual of your monitor,
and try to set the horizontal and vertical sync rates properly. See if
that helps.
