what kernel version are you using Mark?

for install an older driver:

emerge -av "=nvidia-kernel-VERSION" or emerge -av "<=nvidia-kernel-VERSION"

I'm using media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.7667 with
gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r6(without fb) and run ok
(do you build nvidia-kernel AFTER you recompile you new kernel?)
