Very, very weird. 

OK, so I did emerge nvidea-kernel 3 times before I noticed what was
going on. I couldn't do the modprobe since it told me the drivers wasn't
found. 

So I look closer and guess what? I've built 3 kernels today. The
/usr/src/linux link was not pointing to the currently running kernel, so
the emerge was putting the nvidia stuff in a different /lib/modules
path.

Is this considered a bug? I think it might be, in the sense that this is
the first thing I've ever personally encountered where that link made a
difference. 

fluxbox is up and running.

thanks!

Mark
