9 current one, you will need to reinstall the nVidia kernel modules. An
10 easy way to keep track of modules installed by ebuilds (such as
11 nvidia-drivers) is to install sys-kernel/module-rebuild. Once you've
12 installed it, simply run module-rebuild populate to populate its
13 database with a list of packages to be rebuilt. Once you've finished
14 compiling or recompiling a kernel, just run module-rebuild rebuild to
15 rebuild the drivers for your new kernel./code
