I almost always end up using NVidia's installer on my debian-like boxes.

Over the last week, I've installed a Gentoo box on a slow Duron 800 with an
nVidia FX5200. Everythings been going fine except now I'm trying to get X up
and running with the nVidia driver. I've installed the nvidia-kernel and
nvidia-glx, all goes fine. I can get kdm to start up just fine with the
driver set to "nv" but when I change it to "nvidia" X takes up 99% of the
processor with no sign of ever giving it back. Just wondering if anyone has
some pointers on what I've done wrong with the kernel/nvidia configs?
I've been following a couple how-to's (mostly the gentoo handbook) and this:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Setup_MythTV
And some kernel options here:

I've tried with the agpgart compiled as a module, in the kernel, and not at
all. All have the same result... faik
Ideas? other howtos? I can post or make available my kernel config and other
use variables if needed.
