I gave it a try... but nothing happens... always ~5 fps.
Moreover... those packages are just the same package from the nvidia official site, with a patch for via chipsets --- maybe the 4x patch ;)
Check, if u have everything in XF86Config as described on http://www.gentoo.org
Anyway u had more luck as me ...
I tried to setup FX5200 + nvidia proprietary drivers on VIA P4PB400 main board with no success.
I configured the same card on i865 main board before, so I just repeated the same steps & copied config files.
In the rest I made it work on xfree-drm drivers. (It seems that VIA + nvidia is not a good choice.)
*WARNING:* I strongly recommend to use nvidia proprietary drivers *ONLY* from portage tree (using emerge). (I tried to install manually drivers downloaded from nvidia web site, and learned it's made by some diletant, because not even it doesn't work at all, but it breaks a lot of things as well. Thanks a lot to gentoo developers !)
