on the most recent update AIGLX was broken in ati-drivers. [ebuild R ] x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.3-r2 [ebuild R ] x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.573-r1 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.update xorg-server 2.update ati-drivers 3.(might be caused by something else that was updated) 4. DRI still works but no AIGLX so I get a white screen compiz loads Actual Results: AIGLX is broken falling back to a non-functional software mode: (EE) AIGLX error: fglrx exports no extensions (/usr/lib64/dri/fglrx_dri.so: undefined symbol: __driDriverExtensions) (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering Expected Results: AIGLX should work once the driver is installed I was able to fix it by simply copying a few files (found the info in an older bug so this is now resurfacing): cp /usr/lib/opengl/ati/extensions/* /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/extensions/ Once I did that it was all back to normal again. Should this be added to the ati-drivers ebuild to correct this broken AIGLX?
I'm not sure it's a solution to your problem but you forgot: eselect opengl set ati

Please try to update onto 9.8 version of the driver and reopen if problem still happens.
