Well, I do run the etc-update stuff, however I do it from X-windows and
using 'meld' to graphically see the diffs. So I have a bit of a catch-22
here.

Can you tell me how I can remotely run 'meld' / 'etc-update' on my
notebook's X-windows off of the server? Then I can apply the other
etc-updates. Can this even be done, since I can't get X to start on the
server?

I have been using the nvidia stable emerge drivers and I haven't upgraded
the kernel AFAIK.

I guess I'll try to re-emerge the nvidia drivers. The last ~x86 version of
them really hosed up X good, so I decided on this box, to run the stable
ones.
