Nvidia drivers stopped working after a hard restart

[slowpoke]

Yesterday my computer locked up for reasons unkown to me. I tried getting it to come back to life to restart it properly, but aftersoem time i just gave in and pressed the reset button ont he case. Unfortunately this has caused the nvidia drivers to no longer work. On startup (x is configured to start KDM at startup) the computer hangs at a black screen that I have not managed to get out of. Through ssh I have tried killing X, but have not been succesfull.

I have tried unmerging and emerging both nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx numerous times, with a variety of versions. I have tried to get it to work on 3 different kernels, but nothing seems to work.

Fortunately X works fine when I use the nv driver instead of the nvidia driver (ive changed this through ssh as well), but it would be nice to be able to use the nvidia driver (I like my eye candy in KDE). Has anyone had a similar problem? I feel likethere was some file that just got messed up by the hard reboot that, if i could just replace, would make everything work again.

For those who want to see the files here they are:

current xorg.conf:
(this one is working. When it is not working, nv = nvidia)

I used to have the same problem with install the nvidia-glx...90% of the time i would get the black screen your refering to and if it did work it would evenually freeze up on me forcing me to hard boot as well...

So to get around this problem i was forced to get the newest version right from nvidia and install it that way.
Ever since then i have never had any problems what so ever.

so ill usually do something like this

i've run into this problem *a lot* lately with the recent GCC upgrade (because i'm stupid and lazy and forget to recompile my kernel against the new gcc)
when you ssh in, check dmesg for output along the lines of
