You totally baffle me. As I've previously stated, I just installed
Gentoo with xorg, kde, etc. on a new machine and there were no circular
dependencies or any other problems. The whole lot emerged without error
and installed my selected driver, nvidia. So where is the problem that
you are supposedly seeing?
Be lucky,
