Hi, in my make.conf I have these INPUT_DEVICES and VIDEO_CARDS
INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse synaptics"
VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia nv v4l vesa"
My server is compiled with these USE FLAGs that I think worked for me
x11-base/xorg-server-1.2.0-r3 USE="dri ipv6 nptl sdl xorg xprint (-3dfx)
-debug -dmx -kdrive -minimal" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse

My graphic card is Nvidia FX Go 5700.
you should install also the nvidia drivers and then eselect the nvidia opengl instead of the xorg one, cause it's much more performant.... follow the nvidia howtos on gentoo-wiki for that if you haven't done it yet....
anyway this is only the xorg server package, not the internationalizzation package which has the voices about the linguas.... for me (kde user) is kde-base/kde-i18n which has various linguas compiled.... the absence of the voice "LINGUAS ="en cz"" may say that it should have installed all the default languages.... if you're using some other window manager than kde you should search on which is the internazionalization package on your windowmanager....
but first i have forgotten of the x11-apps/setxkbmap package which controls the x keyb changer.... see if it's installed.... it may be due to it that the system doesn't switch the keyb layout.... and another thing, on kde, you should first enable the shortcut on the kde admin pannel....

Yes, I sync at least twice a week and I do emerge -upvDN world &&
revdep-rebuild. I considered 2006.1 to be somehow old, but I was advised
on #gentoo-amd64 not to leave it as the next one could be still somehow
experimental.
