gentoo, debian and derivates do NOT use runlevels in the same way as
fedora/suse.  Runlevel 3 doesn't exist on gentoo and debian uses
runlevel 2 by for everything.  (equivalent to 5 in fedora/suse). ;)  Of

bc the nvidia driver can be loaded into the kernel when X is NOT
running.  use lsmod to list the current drivers.  If nvidia is listed
then it is loaded into the kernel whether X is running or not.
