emerge -p nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel opengl-update Paste the output, try syncing your tree and updating those pacakges aswell.
This is what I get: # emerge -p nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel opengl-update These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild R ] media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.6106-r2 [ebuild R ] media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.6106 [ebuild R ] x11-base/opengl-update-1.8-r1
Still a problem with 6.8.99.15 or modular X?
