I had previous versions running on 2.6.1 with no problems - why is this an issue?

Well,
as far as I know you had to patch your kernel so it behaved like a 2.4 kernel towards the grafics driver…Now it shouldnt be necessary anymore.

Did the nifty nvidia-settings control panel from the beta 4620’s finally show up? If so I’m going to switch. Im running 4620 (with the patches from minion.de) on my 2.6.1-gentoo kernel no problem.

I updated to 1.0.5336 last night, and Savage is now running very slowly, Frame rates down to .5fps. I’ve always received the message “Video card not in AGP mode” when starting Savage, but the machine has been overkill enough to allow for reasonable play.
I have a Vaio PCG-GRT170, the following lines appear in the XF86 log:
(II) NVIDIA XFree86 Driver 1.0-5336 Wed Jan 14 18:30:46 PST 2004

I have tried re-ordering the options under Device in the config file, no change. Any suggestions?
