Yes, that is exactly what had happened. I have my own X start script
that checks for an already loaded nvidia module and it does not load
the new module if the old module is loaded. After emerging the new
nvidia module, I had just shutdown X and then immediately restarted X
which kept the old module (at least until the next reboot).
