We have working nvidia drivers for 2.6 (emerge nvidia-kernel).

using the development kernel 2.6.0-test5-bk4, nvidia-kernel doesn't install
those drivers. I had to apply the patch, and copy in the new nvidia-installer
to make it work on 2.6.

i bk sync just about every day and the latest nvidia ebuild works perfectly
with
every sync ... maybe you should upgrade your kernel ?

You did not have /usr/src/linux symlink pointing to the correct kernel
source tree ?
