I've updated to kernel 4.14.52-gentoo & tried Nvidia-drivers as above
with the same result ; downgrading to 390.67 got X working again.
Has anyone else experienced this problem or similar ?
Does anyone have advice ?
Check the xorg log. New(er) nvidia-drivers often take a bit of time to
get upgraded to handle the most recent kernels. There is likely a more
concrete (if no less helpful) message in the xorg log. You may need to
stick to an older driver and/or kernel until one of them catches up
with the other. (I no longer have an nvidia card in my Gentoo box, so
I have no current specifics, but even when I did, it was legacy 340.xx.
