When I quit Neverball, my desktop is restored but the system's locked up. I have to use the Magic SysRq key to reboot it. I've got a GeForce MX440 and I'm using NVIDIA's driver.
package versions:
libsdl-1.2.6-r3
sdl-mixer-1.2.5-r1
sdl-image-1.2.3
glut-3.7.1
nvidia-glx-1.0.5328-r1
nvidia-kernel-1.0.5328-r1

You have an odd mix of x86 and ~x86.  For example, the latest nvidia drivers
for x86 are:

nvidia-kernel-1.0.4496-r3
nvidia-glx-1.0.4496

xfree-4.3.0-r4 is the latest available for x86 as well.
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.4.22-r5 is the latest.

Seems like you might try making sure your system is consistent.  Upgrade to
the latest stable kernel, downgrade to the latest stable nvidia drivers.
Upgrade xfree.  run revdep-rebuild.  If none of that helps, try remerging
sys-kernel/linux-headers, glibc and gcc.

neverball works fine for me - I have a very similar setup to yours.

Thank you. I've emerged the latest stable xfree and the 1.0.4496-r3
nvidia packages. The problem seems to be gone now.

Glad things are working for you now.

Stable on alpha.
