Thanks Brandon. I'm up in X now on the 6200 AGP so it's functional.
glxgears seems sort of slow at about 230FPS but I probably don't have
things set up right yet.
I had questions about the setup instructions as I went through it.
1) Do you completely drop out DRI support in the kernel? Seems this
document says not to load the dri driver in xconf and it wasn't shown
in the kernel options so I took it out. Maybe that should be enabled?
no. Nvidia uses its own stuff. No need for dri in kernel.
Without DRI in the kernel I got an error message when running glxinfo
| grep direct.
Once I put nvidia in xorg.conf it loaded automatically. That seems
inconsistent with this new push to use hald and no xorg.conf.
you need to have consolekit running before X starts to have working
direct rendering.
The Gentoo page I am following makes no mention of 'consolekit':
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/nvidia-guide.xml
It is installed but it's not set in rc-update to run at all. Should
this be boot or default?

default. And it is a recent development.
FWICT, NVidia 180.51 appears to be working on this box without the
consolekit.
"# glxinfo | grep direct

nvidia is masked on my hardened overlay/AMD64; on a lark tried the ".run"
script available at the nvidia site.
