I tried to install mythtv today and it fails "switch 'opengl-update xorg-x11' or 'opengl-update xfree'. I tried to switch to xorg-x11 and xfree. But it doesn't seem to accept these parameters and shows the default help-message to me instead. I have x11-base/opengl-update-1.8.1-r1 installed.

Which xorg-x11 version? Also, `ls /usr/lib/opengl/`

Could you give this another try with the current 6.8.0-r2? I just built a package of it, and things look fine. supernova xorg-x11-6.8.0-r2 # find usr/lib/opengl/ -type f usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.so.1.2 usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.la usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.a usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/extensions/libglx.a usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/include/gl.h usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/include/glx.h usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/include/glxtokens.h usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/include/glext.h
Works now. I noticed a Useflag "glx" which I didn't see before. Maybe that was the reason for this bug. However it *could* be a good idea to bring some verbosity to opengl-update like "blablabla cannot find it in /usr/lib/opengl/...". Anyway: Thanks for your help, donnie. :) I take the freedom to close this one.
opengl-update >=2 actually shows the available implementations rather than just printing a generic help message. It also should work properly on 6.8.0-r2. And yeah, the glx flag will do it. I've just renamed that flag to opengl, incidentally, and you'll also want to enable dri if you want the 3D drivers built. If you use binary drivers, don't worry about it.
