I did and nvidia was installed, but modprobe nvidia in this kernel says
invalid argument.

Your life is like a penny.  You're going to lose it.  The question is:
How do
you spend it?

Did you do a emerge @module-rebuild after updating your kernel?

Thanks for your quick response.

Version 358.16-r5 still gives invalid argument, with no driver use flag
available and the latest version 361.28-r2 gives me modeset errors, so I
am sort of stuck.  The use flags you mentioned are all mandatory in that 
version.

I had a problem with 358 + 361 , but the solution was simple :
I have "-*" to start the list of USE flags in  make.conf
-- yes, I know ... ! -- & there were  3  new USE flags
which I needed to set properly --  driver gtk3 kms  -- to make it work.

Check your Nvidia USE flags, just in case.
