xclock does not load - instead, an error message is printed to the console. (I am using xclock as a demonstration example. A similar bug also happens when I try to run nvidia-settings). Also, transparency seems to be messed up in fluxbox, but I'm just going to stick to the xclock bug for this because I think it's a good representative example.

Created attachment 74608 [details] generated by nvidia-bug-report.sh duplicates the information from the two previous attachments, but also includes more.
Having done a bit of reading, I have realized that this bug should probably have been submitted to nVidia, rather than gentoo. So I have forwarded all the details to linux-bugs@nvidia.com, along with a reference to this bugzilla page. -Neal
Hmm, I tried a variety of things and it works now. Sorry I can't provide any one specific solution if others have this problem. I tried many things, and eventually it worked. (recompiled kernel, re-emerged nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx, among other things). -Neal
