Hi,

I recently bought a new notebook ASUS U31SG which has a nvidia GT 610M
graphic card,

I always get blank screen (X is running) no matter how i tune the
xorg.conf,
Delete your xorg.conf file. Then, create "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/nvidia.conf" with these contents: 


Section "Device"
    Identifier "NVidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti"
    Driver  "nvidia"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "NVidia GT 610M"
    DefaultDepth    24
    Option         "metamodes" "1920x1080 +0+0"
    SubSection     "Display"
            Depth  24
    EndSubSection
EndSection


(Replace "1920x1080" with the resolution you want.)
Also make sure to start "nvidia-settings --load-config-only" when starting X. Unfortunately, Gentoo does not do this automatically (like Ubuntu and other distros), so you need to do it manually by putting this in "/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/95-nvidia-settings" 


#!/bin/sh
[ -x /opt/bin/nvidia-settings ] &&
        /opt/bin/nvidia-settings --load-config-only > /dev/null 2>&1


and make it executable:

$ chmod +x /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/95-nvidia-settings
