I'm typing this on my Windows/Pentium, because Gentoo doesn't work and Im still in the stage of setting up, so I cannot give you emerge --info, but it should be easy to reproduce (since others seem to have the same problem). I'm having an AMD Athlon64 with nVidia Chipset. I've got a working console system with Internet, no apparent problems at boot. I've emerged xorg/gnome and checked with revdep-rebuild for broken links, no problems signalled. I've emerged nvidia-kernel, checked again for broken links, no problem (I know that glx depends on the kernel, but I wanted to see what caused the problem). After this I've emerged nvidia-glx, checking for broken dependencies reveals: broken //usr/lib32/opengl/nvidia/lib/libGL.so.1.0.8756 (requires libX11.so.6 libXext.so.6) broken /usr/lib32/opengl/nvidia/lib/libGL.so.1.0.8756 (requires libX11.so.6 libXext.so.6) Then revdep-rebuils goes on the reemerge nvidia-glx, but the situation stays the same, rebooting doesn't make a difference either. There are a few threads on the forum lately, discussing, what seems to be the same problem (in the multimedia section). I'm a newbie, but it seems that the change in the location of the xorg libs, as signaled at the end of the install of xorg, causes the problem. It sais to run etc-update to rectify this, but doing this does not bring up any files to update and I don't know where to look! So obviously it gets broken.
/usr/lib32/opengl/nvidia/lib/libGL.so.1.0.8756 is a 32 bit library, and has nothing to do with your regular running system. There is a known problem if you use the 1.0.99 xorg stuff(it's in package.mask) and the nvidia drivers. You'll need to provide more information before we can do anything. emerge --info and emerge -pv xorg-server at a minimum.
Allright, I succeeded, mounted the cf card, did the thing, went to windows, burned a cd-rw and here it is emerge --info Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14 Portage 2.0.54 (default-linux/amd64/2006.0, gcc-3.4.5, glibc-2.3.5-r2, 2.6.15-gentoo-r5 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.15-gentoo-r5 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3400+ dev-lang/python: 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon64 -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-all-loops -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib64/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/eselect/compiler /etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon64 -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-all-loops -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X alsa audiofile avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cli crypt cups dri eds emboss encode esd exif expat fam foomaticdb fortran gif glut gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal howl imlib ipv6 isdnlog jpeg lcms lzw lzw-tiff mng mozilla mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nptl nvidia opengl pam pcre pdflib perl png pppd python quicktime readline reflection sdl session spell spl ssl tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev usb xml2 xpm xv zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY end emerge -pv xorg-server These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies !!!

this bug is two months old. did you get it fixed? it really looks like one of the xorg 7.1-bugs to me which you can't use with the binary drivers. Downgrading X to 7.0 should do the trick.
