With these vga card

00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C61 [GeForce 7025

after compiling x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-260.19.36 with these flags
(acpi gtk multilib) i'm receiving this messages when i try to startx:

You may want to check and make sure this is compiled into your kernel.

CONFIG_SYSVIPC

I ran into problems a while back on my new rig and that was missing.  It worked fine after adding that to the kernel.  May not be your problem but worth checking for sure.

I don't know about its age but I do know my card would not work until I 
built that in my kernel.  As long as it works, whos worried about age?  ;-)

Dunno if they're using it, but the drive won't run without it.  IIRC,
they use the SysV shared-memory API for something.

In your second attempt, it is trying to load "nv", which is incompatible with 
the nvidia-drivers.

I have the following in my /etc/make.conf:
--
VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia"
--
This is to ensure that only the necessary drivers are actually installed. 
Adding other drivers here will have them being added.

You could try removing the following drivers from your system:
nv (x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv)
vesa (x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa)
fbdev (x11-drivers/xf86-video-fbdev)
v4l (x11-drivers/xf86-video-v4l)

And then re-running the "X -configure".

please post:
xorg.conf used
Xorg.0.log
dmesg
lsmod

you can have nv and nvidia installed at the same time. But of course you can 
not use nv if the nvidia module is loaded. And you can not use nvidia if you 
have nvidiafb or nouveau drivers built into the kernel/loaded as modules.
