1. Is this the ebuild that is pulling nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx back in? (I already unmerged nvidia-settings).
This is being pulled in because you have VIDEO_CARDS=nvidia in /etc/make.conf. If you want only the opensource nv driver, you want "VIDEO_CARDS=nv" instead.
2. Is it even possible to run nvidia-kernel? Is the "nv" driver all that bad, or is it possible to get it to work decently with opengl? Is it possible to work with new nv drivers?
The nv driver does not support DRI (eg, no 3D hardware acceleration), so opengl applications are going to run in software emulation mode, and probably be very slow. What is it that you are trying to do? -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
