Right at the moment I had the same problems.
I solved it by using the following nvidia driver:
media-video/nvidia-glx
Latest version installed: 1.0.7174-r4
media-video/nvidia-kernel
Latest version installed: 1.0.7174
To install this add the following two lines in /etc/portage/package.keywords
=media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.7174-r4 ~x86
=media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.7174 ~x86
If someone has an idea why the stable and the actual ~x86 version don't work,
tell me the cause.
Or if someone has a workaround to solve this problem in a different way tell
me too.
Best regards
Christian

Hi,
I recently upgraded my system to use baselayout-1.11.12-r4.
When I try to start X after the upgrade, it fails with the following error:
(--) NVIDIA(0): MMIO registers at 0xC800
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module!
(EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting ***
(II) UnloadModule: nvidia
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
However, if I run udevstart before trying to start X, X fires up correctly.
Anyone got any idea what caused this?
Here's some additional information:
Xorg-x11-6.8.2-r1
nvidia-kernel-1.0.6629-r4
nvidia-glx-1.0.6629-r6
gentoo-sources-2.6.11-r11
