For your card you can use the current drivers.. You can have a look at this : http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_18897.html It contains all the models supported by the latest nvidia drivers. =20 > In xorg.conf do I use do 'nv' or 'nvidia' or 'nvidia-legacy' > Driver "nv" > Driver "nvidia" > Driver "nvidia-legacy" >=20 > With my hardware, which current nvidia driver (legacy) would I emerge > to match my card?

This card too will work with the latest nvidia-drivers. One more thing James, there is no need to do an emerge nvidia-kernel and emerge nvidia-glx anymore.. There is a new unified ebuild x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers. Just do a emerge x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers. I suggest you do=20 $ echo "x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers ~x86" > /etc/portage/package.keywords as the newest drivers have not yet made into the stable branch..
