Well, I just re-emerged the nvidia drivers. They were basically the same
version, just a new -r part.

And luckily that fixed X-windows. I don't know why this broke. My kernel is
the same. But, I'm just glad this fixed it... Dunno why I didn't consider
this in the first place. I guess I only think of re-compiling the nVidia
drivers *IF* I change my kernel. Well, I guess I know this now for the
future in case. Thanks Bob for pointing out the obvious to me. ;-)
