[gentoo-user] nvidia & xv

If this has been discussed before, please accept my appologies. I emerged nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel on my gentoo-1.4-rc4 system. My vid card is a Riva TNT2 model 64 PCI card. With the nvidia driver loaded, X starts with a large green box on the screen. I can just barely see an xterm wido
