Related to a nivdia.ko issue, check if nvidia.ko is loaded (lsmod). Did you manually installed your NVidia drivers or with emerge nvidia-drivers?

I just typed "emerge -u xorg-x11"   i can't remeber there was a error msg at the end.
lsmod:
There is no nvidia.ko listed

If nvidia-drivers crashes, this may need another bug report (I would suggest to
search around the Gentoo bugs database for the version of your nividia-drivers
first). 

You can find build.log here if the emerge fails:

/var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-yourversionhere/temp/build.log'

Once nvidia-drivers has been emerged, make sure you use the 'nvidia' profile for opengl: 

eselect opengl set nvidia

By the way, this bug seems to be related to a local setup issue at first
glance, not sure if it has to be flagged as "critical".

Please post your `emerge --info' too.

Note: This isn't a critical bug - revise your re-keywording policy instead.

Please, could you also post /var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-180.29/temp/build.log

If emerge nvidia-drivers-180.29 fails, a log is stored in this file.

Paul,

Try to recompile your kernel without CONFIG_PARAVIRT ("Enable paravirtualization code"), reboot, then re-emerge nvidia-drivers. If that still not work, totally disable "Paravirtualized guest support". Please, advise of the results, thanks!

Sorry, my summary seems not to bee passed trough yesterday.
"Paravirtualized guest support" was alredy disabled, but after recompiling the kernel and re-run lilo my x11 and KDE worked perfekt.
Thanks a lot again for your help!
