Can you please post the output after running "eselect opengl" please? Thanks... 5:)
The same output after running "eselect opengl set nvidia".
How is the libGL.so symlink on your system? What does it point to (ls -al /usr/lib/libGL.so) and does that pointed-to thing exist? Comments #4 and #5 in bug #237785 might be informative if there is something wrong with the libGL.so symlink. That bug in turn refers to bug #238686 about trouble with some of the latest ati-drivers (noticed you have both fglrx and nvidia in your VIDEO_CARDS, so might have changed your card recently?).
I don't know why but now it works for me after reinstalling the nvidia-drivers.
Closing then :) Thanks for the follow up
