That's a really bad idea. If the driver is there, and Allan didn't
rememeber being the one that put it, something else did, and it will
probably do it again.

Allan, what do you have in your VIDEO_CARDS variable? It's usually
defined in /etc/portage/make.conf. If you don't have it, try to set it
up to nouveau:

VIDEO_CARDS="nouveau"

Also, what's the output of "equery l -if x11-drivers/"?

Regards.
