Here is a working combination (for me), assuming modular-X:
nvidia-[glx,kernel]-1.0.8762
x11-base/xorg-server-1.0.2-r7
x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1
virtual/x11-7.0-r2
Notice that nvidia-glx-1.0.8762 contains an explicit RDEPEND for
!>=x11-base/xorg-server-1.0.99
and the combination nvidia-glx-<anything> and xorg-server-1.1.<anything>
will fail. With -1.1, the server/driver interface changed, and last I
knew, the nvidia driver has not caught up. Notice also that after
installing xorg-server, you might have to
eselect opengl set nvidia
by hand (I do, but haven't bothered tracking down why).
You don't see any weird font rendering problems with this combination?
I've been using nvidia-glx on xorg-server-1.0.x but I've had problems
with font rendering off and on. From reading the bug reports on b.g.o
I think that's the manner in which the ABI mismatch typically
manifests itself.
