They are essential, you want them. >From http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/nvidia-guide.xml : Code Listing 3.2: Creating the nvidia device nodes # /sbin/NVmakedevices.sh If your /dev/nvidia devices are still missing every time you reboot, then it is most likely because udev is not automatically creating the proper device nodes. You can fix this by re-running NVmakedevices.sh, and then editing /etc/conf.d/rc as shown: Code Listing 3.3: Editing /etc/conf.d/rc RC_DEVICE_TARBALL="yes" This will preserve your /dev/nvidia nodes even if you reboot.
