For the record in case this helps someone. After more searching I found
this post which has a script that creates the
nvidia /dev entries. It appears for some reason that udev is not doing it.
I'm using udev 068-r1 which is latest stable and changelog does not
mention any nvidia fixes in newer versions. A search for udev+nvidia
turned up others with the trouble.

I've searched bugzilla, the forums, google and I can't find anything that
helps although I've tried several things.
I have installed a system from stage 1 and have it running. I emerged the
nvidia-kernel and glx drivers and set up xorg.conf. Xorg.conf works with the
nv driver and works with the nvidia driver. I can startx fine (I am booting
to default command line right now and then run startx) and I get my X display
and xfce4 running. However, when I exit xfce4 and go back to the console the
screen is black and I can never get it to display. I am using vesafg-tng -
no rivafb. I have agpgart as a module.
I remember a thread on it but can't find it and can't remember what the
problem was. The crazy thing is that this system worked before with nvidia
and the same card. I had to do a rebuild due to disk problems.
I tried the stable and the ~x86 nvidia-* also.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
