Actually, this is because the nvidia driver officially doesn't support
xorg-server 1.1, only 1.0 (1.1 is xorg 7.1, 1.0 is xorg 7.0)
Many people (myself included) find that it "mostly" works - some minor
problems with bitmaps fonts in my experience.

Unfortunately, if you've already installed xorg 7.1, it's really hard
to downgrade.
Perhaps you can find some help from someone else on doing that, I've
make a local overlay ebuild without the block because it was working
for me.
