I spent a few minutes looking at the Gentoo nouveau guide. I think I
won't be able to do that before Sunday so if there's nothing else to
reasonably look at and you're >50% sure that's the reason then I'll
probably have to get back to you guys next Monday or so. (Assuming the
guides are correct and it actually works.

One question: If I simply remove the nvidia driver (either emerge -C
or blacklist it) then assuming it doesn't load if I don't see the
message we at least know it's involved in the problem, correct? That's
very easy to do right now as a test.
