7.3 = blackscreen after every restart
After the system restarts, it shows [1] nvidia * [2] xorg-x11. I'm
hoping that the asterix by nvidia indicates that it isn't dropping the
opengl setting from nvidia that is causing this.

Apologies for my top posting earlier.
You might try finding and renaming every instance of xorg.conf on your
machine to something else and then reboot the machine. If no xorg.conf
exists, the current X will run through its own script (not named xorg.conf)
and usually automagically produce a working windowed environment (or fail).
I believe that if you have an old xorg.conf, emerge nvidia-drivers will edit
it retaining part, deleting part, and adding part. If this is correct the
possibility exists that the edited xorg.conf will have internal
inconsistencies.
BTW, being a slob I use the terms terminal, console, and command line
interface pretty much interchangeably (sorry again). I presume you boot
directly to a windowed environment (desktop) when all goes well. And that
currently the boot gets to the point of trying to start X, fails, and drops
you to a command line prompt at which you login and then type: emerge
nvidia-drivers, after the emerge nvidia-drivers, you type some form of a
'startx' or 'start a display manager command' which then works to take you
to a desktop. If these assumptions are coreect, an eselect opengl list after
the crash and before the emerge nvidia-drivers could be informative. After
emerge nvidia-drivers the list should be as you found it and it should still
be that way for the next start of X.

After a failure and while in console, what output does:
