I tried to switch my window manager to Gnome and also XFCE (both worked fine
before too) and that didn't solve the problem, so I don't think it's a KDE
thing. But I have had KDE problems before as you suggest with other nvidia
drivers.

Something changed recently in an "emerge -Davu world" or
"system" that
causes X to not start anymore? The Xorg log below doesn't
have any errors or
warnings or anything. There are no unresolved symbols as the
message says. I
did notice that glib was updated, but the
"3242-glibc-2.3.5.log" doesn't say
anything interesting. I ran "rm -rf /root/.revdep-rebuild.*;
revdep-rebuild
-av" and that said I was golden, it didn't re-compile a
single thing.
One of the things we just discovered on this list is that
newer versions
of KDE are trying to use things like the Composite extension,
and it is
causing problems for some people (slowness was the previous case).
Some things to try:
1. Disable Composite.
2. Disable DRI.
3. Try the x.org "nv" driver instead of "nvidia".
Depending upon whether and which one of those work, you will have a
place to start from on more debugging.

I usually use 'meld' (x-windows) for my etc-update, so I do
have some files
that need updating, but they don't seem that they should affect X??
Probably not...more likely opengl or composite is causing the
problem for X.

What login manager are you using Gdm or Xdm, I have been using Gdm
untill a while back and now after an update my X will not start using
gdm in my /etc/rc.conf. If I change it to Xdm in /etc/rc.conf or type
it in manually then X starts and I can get in Gnome. Changing the
Nvidia drivers has had no effect.
