Right.  And after I changed /usr/src/linux to point to the new
kernel source tree.  Otherwise I'd get no X at all because
there's no nvidia kernel module.

I also did another emerge nvidia-drivers again with
/usr/src/linux pointed to the "old" kernel to make sure that
the kernel was the only difference.
