I run a ~x86 system on which I had quite some troubles with 1.4.0 when I tried
it shortly after the new nVidia drivers shipped. I haven't tried 1.4.0-r1
yet.
I'm sure the problems I was seeing were unrelated to the nVidia driver. I had
symptoms very similar to this guy:
http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-user-de/msg_38486.xml
To revert to a working system (on ~x86) I added the following to
packages.mask:
>=x11-base/xorg-server-1.3.9
~x11-base/xorg-x11-7.3
>=x11-proto/renderproto-0.9.3
~x11-libs/libXrender-0.9.4
~x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard-1.2.2
I wish you luck.
