Further to my last post, this is what I get now with the "emerge -p 
nvidia-kernel opengl-update nvidia-glx"

bash-2.05b# emerge -p nvidia-kernel opengl-update nvidia-glx

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild     U ] media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.7167-r1 [1.0.6629-r4]
[ebuild   R   ] x11-base/opengl-update-2.1.1-r1
[ebuild     U ] media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.7167-r1 [1.0.6629-r1]
bash-2.05b#

So I'll do that tomorrow when I don't need to get the the computer for 
an hour or two
