while I compiling several opengl-enabled programs, such as blender, mplayer (with "opengl" in USE), xmms (with "opengl" in USE, too), libtool complained: === cut here === libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libGL.la' is not a valid libtool archive === cut here === I've done a google search and noticed there's a same problem in the previus nvidia-glx, the reason was because libtool greps for "^# Generated by .*libtool" before using .la files. And the workout was to replace the line in /usr/lib/libGL.la: === cut here === # Generated by nvidia-installer: 1.0.5 === cut here === with === cut here === # Generated by nvidia-installer: 1.0.5 (for use by libtool) === cut here === but while I try to less that libGL.la, it actually looks like a binary file and there's nothing like "# Generated by" in that file. I'm using the only version of xorg-x11 (which is xorg-x11-6.7.0) in the portage tree, and libtool-1.5.2-r5. --- and... btw, is everyone using a nvidia/ati/matrox card!? why no one got this problem before...!? or just no one does 3D with a i830 notebook? :P

I've emerged nvidia-glx with --nodeps and switched GL to nvidia by using opengl-update nvidia, then blender/mplayer/xmms/etc emerges fine. But when I wanna switch GL back to xorg-x11 with opengl-update, it just stuck there and not continueing. This is the last line of "bash -x /usr/sbin/opengl-update xorg-x11": === cut here === + CURDIR=/root + ce /usr/lib ++ grep -l /usr/lib/opengl libAiksaurus.la libAiksaurusGTK.la ...

Try opengl-update 1.7.1.
