I have an 8800 gts and an 7800gs both evga, both run gentoo. Seems like if I let the monitor power down and standby, I get a blank screen when I return, anybody have it working correctly?

Do you have the problem of blank screen when change between the frame buffer and X window also. I think they might be the same problem.
That's a known bug for nvidia driver. I heard that it can be fixed by using the 169.04 driver.
I've tried the 169.04 for my 7600GT and it does work. Hopefully that should fix your problem. -
BTW, I'm also using gentoo. It's easy to install 169.04. You can just copy the ebuild file of 100.14.23 to the new name nvidia-drivers-169.04.ebuild and install with this new ebuild ( you need to download the driver first and use a ebuild digest command)Comment

The renamed ebuild doesnt completely work, check the gentoo bugzilla for nvidia-drivers and you will find the 169 proper ebuild from an overlay.
I had some problems with the 169 driver and have returned to the 100.14.23Comment
