The last libnes I get are the following:


(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
Using vt 8



dlopen: /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nv_drv.so: undefined symbol: fbdevHWSwitchMode
(EE) Failed to load /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nv_drv.so
(EE) Failed to load module "nv" (loader failed, 7)
(EE) No drivers available.

Fatal server error:
no screens found



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge xorg-x11
2. xorgconfig
3. X :1

Actual Results:  
X server does not start

Expected Results:  
X server should start
