After an upgrade of X and mesa, I lost all my opengl capabilities. I have the proper kernel driver for my i915 video card, I have mesa and everything else, but still I get the message that glx extension can't be loaded, because it's missing.It's not in the extensions directory. It's not even on the hdd. I've searched for it, but in vain.

eselect opengl set xorg-x11 (or nvidia or whatever else). If that still doesn't work, reopen with xorg.conf
Created attachment 99572 [details] xorg.conf It still doesn't find the glx extension.
Forgot to set the reopen state

Could you attach a log of the configure script output?
Created attachment 99609 [details] The log
I compiled the same version on my other PC. Everything was the same, except the video card. I copied the file and that's the message I got : dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so: undefined symbol: noGlxExtension (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so (EE) Failed to load module "glx" (loader failed, 7) Is there a way to get a binary X package with glx support ?
Your configure is missing the mesa symlinking section for some reason ... the test for it is: if test "x$GLX" = xyes && ! test "x$MESA_SOURCE" = x GLX is turned on by default and is not autodetected, and MESA_SOURCE is set whenever USE=xorg (which you have). We discover farther down that since you have DMX set, that should also check for GL if GLX is set, right after the check for input/keyboard.h: if test "x$GLX" = xyes; then PKG_CHECK_MODULES([GL], [glproto]) fi However, it's not, so the GLX setting is the culprit rather than MESA_SOURCE. How is this happening? Good question, but I bet it's related to your use of confcache, which I noticed when looking at the line passed into configure. Please disable it (FEATURES="-confcache") and retry. You can clearly see that an incorrect configure line is passed in: /usr/bin/confcache --confcache-ignore /var/tmp/.distcc --confcache-dir /var/tmp/confcache ./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --prefix=/usr --datadir=/usr/share --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu Again, please retry with confcache disabled.
I disabled confcache and reemerged, but it still doesn't create a libglx module.
Please attach configure output again.
Created attachment 99758 [details] configure.log The new configure.log
It still isn't passing any of the right stuff to configure, just the econf defaults: ./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --prefix=/usr --datadir=/usr/share --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu Do you have an x-modular.eclass in your sunrise overlay checkout, or in any other overlay? Perhaps CONFIGURE_OPTIONS isn't being treated correctly. Try cleaning out /var/tmp/portage/ as well: rm -rf /var/tmp/portage/*
I don't have such a class in the SUNRISE overlay. The only one is in : /usr/portage/eclass/x-modular.eclass. I tried to clean /var/tmp/portage, but in vain. Will try it again in a few minutes, but I'm quite sceptical. About the problem with passing the right arguments - I had the same problem with Mesa - I couldn't emerge it, unless I specified CONFIG=linux-dri-x86 before the emerge command. Maybe if you tell me the right options, I could try that way ? Anyway, I'll write back as soon as the new emerge is finished to tell you whether purging /var/tmp/portage worked or not.
Well, after the purge it still doesn't set the correct settings : * econf: updating xorg-server-1.1.1/config.guess with /usr/share/gnuconfig/config.guess * econf: updating xorg-server-1.1.1/config.sub with /usr/share/gnuconfig/config.sub ./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --prefix=/usr --datadir=/usr/share --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu
What version of bash do you have installed currently?
Ah. So it's not preserving variables across ebuild phases.
Here's my bash version : GNU bash, version 3.1.17(1)-release (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc. I think it's the latest, as I sync at least once a week. So the problem is not bash. Maybe some configuration files, but I've upgraded portage each time a new version came, so I really have no idea.
I think I found the cause - the last 2 lines of my make.conf looked like this : ;PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES="warn error log" ;PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="save" I commented them and now the configure looks like this : ./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --prefix=/usr --datadir=/usr/share --enable-ipv6 --disable-dmx --disable-kdrive --enable-xvfb --enable-xnest --enable-xorgcfg --enable-install-libxf86config --enable-dri --enable-xorg --disable-xprint --enable-glx-tls --sysconfdir=/etc/X11 --localstatedir=/var --enable-install-setuid --with-fontdir=/usr/share/fonts --disable-xsdl --with-mesa-source=/var/tmp/portage/x11-base/xorg-server-1.1.1-r1/work/Mesa-6.5.1 --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu
