I did so and nvidia is correctly running.

well, I prefer gnome and fluxbox if performance neede. But it was all  
running ok till some update, but I had not time to solve it at that time.

Oh, this is interesting, I thought, it should be "en cs" that I am using.  
Sorry for being confusing, I will attach the make.conf. In my mind, this  
isn't problem of window manager as gnome was running and it has no  
localization package.

   Yes, it is, currenlty I use these packages perhaps related to xkb
   [ I] x11-apps/setxkbmap (1.0.2):  Controls the keyboard layout of a  
running X server.
   [ I] x11-apps/xkbcomp (1.0.3):  compile XKB keyboard description
   [ I] x11-apps/xkbutils (1.0.1):  X.Org xkbutils application
   [ I] x11-libs/libxkbfile (1.0.4):  X.Org xkbfile library
   [ I] x11-libs/libxkbui (1.0.2):  X.Org xkbui library
   [ I] x11-libs/libxklavier (3.1):  High level XKB library
   [ I] x11-misc/xkbdata (1.0.1):  X.Org xkbdata data
   [ I] x11-misc/xxkb (1.10):  eXtended XKB - assign different keymaps to  
different windows
   [ I] x11-plugins/gkrellm-xkb (1.05):  XKB keyboard switcher for gkrellm2

  This is not afaik necessary in gnome.

Well, sorry I should not say experimental but I was told that there can be  
some problems on 2007.1, so I have not switched yet.
ls -l /etc/ | grep make.profile
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root        root       51 2007-05-06 14:42 make.profile ->  
..//usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64/2006.1
Maybe it would be good idea to switch, if you have not experienced any  
problems.
