here I'm... same version as you but diff revision .
[I] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers
Installed versions: 190.42-r3!s(12:51:20 PM 11/16/2009)(acpi gtk kernel_li
X starts fine (I see NVidia logo for only half second) I can change
between workspaces fine, but when I open an application it hangs... I'm
lucky cause I can change to virtual console with Ctrl+Alt+F1 and no
reboot needed, but I'm really tired about this issue...
nv does not work neither and I don't know what else I can try... Vesa
sucks (well, at least I can see things in my screen if I take off my
glasses).... and I see no other people with same problem.
