My issues may also be dual core related. Both my test pc's are dual core and yours is not. Also you have an older geforce card, whereas the one in my laptop is pretty new.

When I get some time I may give this a shot on one of my older boxes with a single core x86 cpu and a geforce 7800 agp card. Just need to finish my gentoo install on that machine and get a sound card for it.

The older geforce cards use an older driver, and are not supported by the new one. For instance my game server runs gentoo and has a geforce 5900 fx series card and I have to mask any drivers past the 143 series of drivers.

That machine uses these drivers: x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-173.14.15

My laptop on the other hand needs to use the latest nvidia drivers so I use: x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-177.82
