the older nvidia-glx packages had a patch to fix the glext.h/gl.h header file issue. Without this patch, quake2-icculus cant compile cleanly, complaining about a missing #define thats actually in the glext.h header. Copying the NVIDIA_glx-1.0.6111-glheader.patch file over to files/1.0.6629, renaming it appropriately and editing the 1.0.6629 ebuild to apply this patch fixes the issue. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge nvidia-glx-1.0.6629 2. opengl-update nvidia 3. emerge quake2-icculus Actual Results: quake2-icculus fails as it cant find a #define thats defined in glext.h. Expected Results: quake2-icculus should compile cleanly.

Just came across this one myself. Original bug report for 6106 version of the nVidia driver can be found at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56146. These fixes were carried through to the ebuild for 6111 but seem to have dropped off the edge of the planet where the ebuild for 6629 is concerned. Please can we have the fixes re-applied? Not just OpenGL games that are affected. My development machine at work runs Gentoo (otherwise a Fedora shop) and had to get all defensive about why our latest product had stopped working on my machine after updating the nVidia driver!
Yep, ok, I was actually waiting to see if this was going to be necessary.
Done.
