I tried to create an updated ebuild to my local portage-tree and got a file-collision detected on /usr/lib/libnvidia-gtk3.so.355.11 ('equery b' indicated that it belongs to nvidia-drivers) and that got me thinking... nvidia-settings seems to be  provided through USE="tools" in x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers now instead. So I'm opting out from nvidia-settings now :)

It seems that the nvidia-settings ebuild has been deprecated, see https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/commit/8c909902c0bb2fa2efedb0d7d8bb32eefe4771e6

The nvidia-settings from the nvidia-drivers package sometimes does not work because it is linked against older ABI versions of system libraries.
This happens from time to time.

For a permanent availability you should use the package nvidia-settings.

To prevent file file-collision you have to set "-tools" for nvidia-drivers.
