Your model nvidia card may not be supported well by the open-source 'nv' 
driver. You can check if it is by looking at the list of supported 
chipsets in /var/log/Xorg.0.log . If you don't see your model there you 
will need to install the binary driver from nvidia.com, following the 
instructions for doing so provided by your distro (emerge <nvidia>?).

You should install this driver anyway IMHO because it gives you better 
video performance all round.

Also, you've specified two devices in your xorg.conf - your nvidia card 
and a generic 'vga' card. I don't know much about Gentoo but I'm pretty 
sure you don't need to be loading two video modules. You only appear to 
have one monitor so you should comment out/delete the 'vga' section in 
the 'Device' section, and just have the nvidia card section.

Cheers,
Les
