OKhere's the deal.
The nividia module has changed somehow recently, as
the posts of others and my experiences have shown.
Here's the how to in a nutshell.
Step One- Don't follow the Gentoo Desktop Guide
Step Two- *Do* follow the Nvidia README and do a
regular build from source, not an
I have a cheesy off-brand sound card. Shows up as:

IRQ 5.
Master Capable. Latency=32. Min Gnt=2.Max

what module should I
The Gentoo Linux Desktop Configuration Guide
(http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/desktop.xml) instructs
to edit the XF86Config for Nvidia cards as such:

OK. I'm going to try to write a step-by-step how to
for enabling the most current Nvidia modules and glx
on a gentoo system. Bear in mind -I STILL DON'T HAVE
IT WORKING ON MY SYSTEM- so I need some help, esp with
the check if this step works parts.
Before I start the parts I know, I have two

Did a emerge sync, and an emerge -u world to get my
system all new and shiny. Got the /etc/config file

One of my files was make.conf, which I tried to merge
with the old one to save my old settings.
Bad idea.
So, Im like, no biggie, Ill just emerge portage and it

I am doing my final emerge -u world before finishing
my install. I *had* a good copy of make.conf with all
my USE variables, CONFIG_PROTECT=-*, and my mcpu
flags. However, some of the latter packages in the 27

config files in /etc need updating.
I have two HDD in my system, /dev/hda and /dev/hdb.
When I try to mkswap or fdisk on /dev/hdb (during the
install using the gentoo install CD) I get:
unable to start /dev/hdb

Windows XP, and RH. What's the deal here?
