I think you'll find you are running incompatible versions of opengl-update and xorg-x11 you should have either
>opengl-update-2.0_pre4 and >=xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4
or
<=opengl-update-1.8.2 and <=xorg-x11-6.8.0-r3

Bah .. Andrew, can you have a look at that version checker? Seems it must be slipping through somehow.

hall: Can you confirm which versions of opengl-update and xorg-x11 you are using please.

[Comment 4 hall 2005-01-17 05:45:10 UTC]

yes, you was right:

*  x11-base/opengl-update
      Latest version available: 1.8.2
      Latest version installed: 1.8.2
*  x11-base/xorg-x11
      Latest version available: 6.8.0-r3
      Latest version installed: 6.8.0-r3

plus I found additional problem. It happend couple of times to me that
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so is icorecctly linked to /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/extensions/libglx.so which doesn't seems to be nvidia's.
correct one resist at /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so.1.0.6629

let me note, i've used nvidias driver installer package, instead of portage, due to missing lastest version earlier.
i've just checked, 6629 is avaible by now, I'll update all later on today, and report if problems resists.

marking fixed.  don't use nvidia's installer package.
