The version of xorg shouldn't matter, test the older driver, it can even be so
that you should use the legacy driver instead (not sure what card you have).

Use quickpkg to make a package for Gentoo (on the machine with the older
driver), don't copy manually or use those packages provided by nVidia, as
Gentoo don't have the files in the same place and uses symlinks to allow easy
switch between opengl's.
