No the problem seems to be that emerging nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx builds the 
files but somehow actually installs teh new gls, and not the new kernel. I 
don't know why, there have been a few bug reports about this but I can't seem 
to solve it with either. 
weird thing it has happened since 1.0.7174 as this seems to work fine. If I 
upgrade and can't start x I just downgrade to this version on both and works 
fine..
