Yep.  I saw it switch to that during the emerge but I typed it in to 
make sure.  I downgraded back to the old versions and things are working 
now.  I did have to recompile all the input stuff again but at least it 
works.


According to the forums, this is a known problem since xorg is updated 
but apparently nvidia is not yet.

Yes, I see now.  It works for me because I have the ~ version of the 
nvidia driver
unmasked.  I run the most recent kernel from Linus and the stable 
driver won't compile

against his newer kernels.




I think this is a version mismatch thing.  Xorg, nvidia and maybe 
something else just don't like the currently available versions at the 
moment.  I did try that keyworded nvidia driver for my card but it 
wasn't happy with it either.  I think that was why I had a black 
screen.  I dunno.


At least it is working for now and maybe when the next version is 
released all this will be fixed.
