copying /usr/portage/media-video/nvidia-kernel/nvidia-kernel-1.0.8178.ebuild over to /usr/local/portage/media-video/nvidia-glx/nvidia-glx-1.0.8178-r1.ebuild and running ebuild /usr/local/portage/media-video/nvidia-glx/nvidia-glx-1.0.8178-r1.ebuild digest && emerge nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel fixed it for me.
Created attachment 75404 [details, diff] nvidia-glx-1.0.8178-r1.ebuild.patch Here is a fix for the ebuild.
changing local libdir=usr/${pkglibdir} to local libdir=usr/X11R6/${pkglibdir} in /usr/portage/media-video/nvidia-glx/nvidia-glx-1.0.8178.ebuild then running ebuild /usr/portage/media-video/nvidia-glx/nvidia-glx-1.0.8178.ebuild digest fixed it up for me
Checked in fix that should work. No version bump since the last one didn't work. remergen vidia-glx-1.0.8178

I encountered the same problem and was able to fix it using the patch provided. As of my latest emerge sync (2006-01-15), nvidia-glx-1.0.8178 has not been applied the patch and is _NOT_ fixed.
No one else is reporting a problem. If you still are, please post your 'emerge info' so we can see what's going on.

(In reply to comment #11) There is no nvidia-glx-1.0.8178-r1 in portage. Perhaps you need to resync, remove the 1.0.8178-r1 ebuild you have in your overlay and then install 1.0.8178 from the actual portage tree. Any problems you have could be attributed from using a non-standard ebuild.
(In reply to comment #12) > Any problems you have could be attributed from using a non-standard ebuild. The ebuild I have in my overlay is actually the one that works. Sorry if it wasn't clear enough from what I said in comment #9. The difference between the ebuild in portage (that doesn't work for me) and my -r1 (that seems to work quite well) is just the stuff mentioned in comment #4 and comment #5. I ran "emerge =nvidia-glx-8178" today before syncing and fired up X but to no avail: (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the GLX module; please check in your X (EE) NVIDIA(0): log file that the GLX module has been loaded in your X (EE) NVIDIA(0): server, and that the module is the NVIDIA GLX module. If (EE) NVIDIA(0): you continue to encounter problems, Please try (EE) NVIDIA(0): reinstalling the NVIDIA driver. This is a differen't message than what I've gotten before but that's perhaps because I was starting X from inside another X session using, "startx -- :2". In addition, the X session I launched it from was started before the reemerge (bad idea?). Or maybe the different message is because of an X upgrade or something but the grammar of the message isn't important--it seems to be the exact same error. After syncing, however, the ebuild from portage seems to be in perfect working order. Good work!
