I then tried to update vlc, and it failed with the error message above. I then discover that I had 'v4l' in my make.conf file, so I change it to 'v4l2' and ran "emerge -uD --newuse world' which again dies on the missing GL. I even tried USE="opengl" emerge mythtv which failed at the same point. > What is the output of these two commands? > emerge -pv xorg-x11 [ebuild R ] x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r4 -3dfx +3dnow +bitmap-fonts -cjk -debug -dlloader -dmx +doc -font-server -insecure-drivers +ipv6 -minimal +mmx +nls -nocxx +opengl +pam -sdk +sse -static +truetype-fonts +type1-fonts (-uclibc) -xprint +xv > opengl-update --get-implementation ati I guess I need to rebuild xorg-x11, and put opengl in make.conf? Here are the latest USE flags in make.conf: USE="-gtk -gnome java qt kde dvd cdr sse mmx 3dnow alsa apache2 calendar cups divx4linux encode ethereal aac jack perl php mysql postgres spell ssl tiff xv ffmpeg mplayer v4l2 dvdr jpeg lm_sensors quicktime xmms xvid mozilla mpeg scanner doc xine theora nsplugin" Note vlc has been installed for a while. It's the rebuild, now that I changed v4l to v4l2 that causing it to die. media-video/vlc Latest version available: 0.8.1-r1 Latest version installed: 0.8.1-r1 emerge -uDp world --newuse These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ...done!
