X fails to start. Some symbol in libwfb.so is not found. This after an upgrade to X-1.5 and more recent nvidia-drivers (I did try to do "modprobe -r nvidia" and "eselect opengl set nvidia"). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start x Actual Results: X crashes With the information from #202978, I solved it for now by deleting /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/extensions/libwfb.so and recreating the link /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libwfb.so to point to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so.

Hmm, I wonder if this is my fault, as I seem to have "ModulePath "/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/extensions/,/usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/extensions/,/usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/,/usr/lib/modules/,/usr/lib/xorg/modules/"" in my Xorg.conf.

Remove it and test whether it it is fixed. If not please reopen the bug and attach, Xorg.log xorg.conf, lspci -vvnn. I can reproduce it with this strange ModulePath in the xorg.conf. Assigning to maintainer, you should check whether something must be done with this multiple libs.
Delete all those ModulePath entries. With xorg-server and new-ish (somewhere in the 173.x.y series) drivers, NVIDIA needed libwfb but xorg-server 1.3 didn't ship it. The fix was to add the additional ModulePath to pull in the needed file. However, that was a backported copy of that library for xorg-server 1.3 and it doesn't work with newer xorg-servers. By having those config lines with xorg-server 1.5, you're using the NVIDIA copy over the xorg-server's own copy. Delete them and you're set.
Works. Thanks for the great and fast support.
