I am using Nvidia card and VESA support has to NOT be compiled in the kerne= l=20 according to all nvidia gentoo guides, if I want to use nvidia driver for=20 X11. Using this settings, it is quite obvious why I could not get it to wor= k.=20 I am not sure why it worked for 2.6.18, but it is not for 2.6.22. I finally solved this using the latest kernel 2.6.23-gentoo-r3, and uvesafb= =20 (http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/uvesafb/). I followed the installati= on=20 instructions in the above link, and it worked without a flaw.
