After updating to media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.8178-r1, I noticed that it had switched back to the xorg-x11 OpenGL interface. The nvidia OpenGL interface was selected prior to the update and it correctly reselected during the installation, but then changed it to the xorg-x11 interface during the removal of the old version. I believe this is a bug with either the ebuild or portage; pkg_postrm() selects the xorg-x11 interface, but this should only be done if no other version of nvidia-glx is installed. (I'm not sure whether the ebuild or portage should check for this, so I've assigned it as a "ebuilds" bug.) # emerge -uD world Calculating world dependencies... done! >>> Emerging (1 of 1) media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.8178-r1 to / [snip] >>> Safely unmerging already-installed instance...

Fixed. Should no longer change back.
