Hi Dale, did I see in one of your early emails you created an xorg.conf 
for nvidia?  Have you followed the gentoo Xorg guide where it says to 
try first without that file?  I doubt the knoppix etc use a conf file 
and so must depend on the auto detection.

Based on my own experience I can say using an xorg.conf (though it was a 
radeon card) is an easy way to shoot yourself in the foot!
