Yes, that is exactly what had happened. I have my own X start script |
16 |
that checks for an already loaded nvidia module and it does not load |
17 |
the new module if the old module is loaded. After emerging the new |
18 |
nvidia module, I had just shutdown X and then immediately restarted X |
19 |
which kept the old module (at least until the next reboot). |
