As per my first post....

Today, because my nvidia drivers were the masked versions they were updated to 
version 1.0.8756 which then gave me an error in Mythtv - "unable to enable 
video" or something like that.

Going back to the previous version fixed the problem.

/etc/portage/package.keywords now has.....
=media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.8178-r1
=media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.8178-r3

According to posts at
http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2006-April/132199.html

some settings have to be changed for Xorg to work with the new drivers.

I decided to take the easy way and revert back to a known working 
driver/config.
