If you didn't use -f for nvidia-driver then it may not have rebuilt.

Well, my nvidia-driver was out of date as is. So I didn't
need to do an "-f". Same with alot of my xorg*. I probably should
have been smarter (TOO LATE!!) to upgrade my nvidia first, run for
a while.... THEN go to 5.5 .

So it did get rebuilt. And when I portdowngraded and then
portupgraded -f'd it, (I did mention that, right?) it would have
re-installed it anyway.

Are you running an opengl screensaver? If so, I'd suspect it's opengl that's
causing the problem.
I do the following in such cases:
portupgrade -f nvidia-driver\* xorgclients\*
portupgrade -fr libglut\*

A portupgrade -f xorg\* wouldn't go astray either!

Cheers,
Ian
