# > eselect opengl list Available OpenGL implementations: [1] nvidia * [2] xorg-x11 I used an old package.unmask file where eselect-opengl was unmasked. This was from my old machine, done while there was a bug when the symlink /lib64 was rather new. This unmasked version was version 1.0.4. Version 1.0.3 works fine as stated above. *argh*
*** Bug 148730 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Which app-admin/eselect version you have installed? Need 1.0.5 most likely.
Well I had eselect-1.0.2 installed which did not work with eselect-opengl-1.0.5. This was by accident only by unmasking eselect-opengl. Funny thing is, after correcting this, downgrading eselect-opengl a couple of hours both programs were unmasked. If I had fiddled with this one day later I would have never seen a non working eselect-opengl on my system ;-)

Assigning to herd, the maintainer is apparently MIA.
Done. Sorry that this took so long.
