[mythtvnz] Nvidia drivers warning (Gentoo)

I installed those as well (also Gentoo) without too much problems.
Only a custom resolution that the earlier driver had always rejected (and I had forgotten about)
prevented X from showing on the LCD monitor. Editing the resolution line in xorg.conf fixed that.

So far no other issues detected.

Cheers,
Bert
