[gentoo-user] Please point me to the doco on an nVidia install

[Andrew Lowe]

Hi all,
	I've managed to build up a machine that uses an nVidia nforce2 chipset. 
I'm now in the process of installing the nVidia drivers. The problem is 
that I'm sure I've come across doco that describes what to do but for 
the life of me I can't remember where it is. I've done some googling but 
to no avail. Would someone be so kind as to point me to appropriate doco 
for the installation and configuration of the nVidia graphics drivers.

	I've currently got the machine to boot up and can then load up kde in 
640x480 resolution. The mouse dosn't work, but I'm assuming all of that 
is a part of the X11/nVidia/OpenGL config. Now I just need some doco.

	Any pointers greatly appreciated,
		Andrew

	Can't see the wood for the trees!!! I looked all over the gentoo site 
and for some reason just couldn't find it. I'm sure I tried google, but 
as to what bizarre combination of keywords I tried I have no idea. This 
never came up as the top result - bugga!!!!!
