I'm not sure if it will help or not but here is some info from mine: root@fireball / # equery list eselect xorg-server nvidia-drivers * Searching for eselect ... [IP-] [ ] app-admin/eselect-1.4.3:0 * Searching for xorg-server ... [IP-] [ ] x11-base/xorg-server-1.16.3-r1:0/1.16.1 * Searching for nvidia-drivers ... [IP-] [ ] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-340.76:0 root@fireball / # eselect opengl list Available OpenGL implementations: [1] nvidia * [2] xorg-x11 root@fireball / # I use KDE, fluxbox as a backup, and no issues, yet. I just may need more time to find it tho. lol Oh, I recall that when I rebuild mesa, I have to set opengl to use the xorg version instead of nvidia. After the update is done, I can switch it back. May not be related but if it is the only straw you have, grab it and see. Dale :-) :-)
