X.org 7 (6.9.x, I guess) uses /usr/lib/xorg/ directory to store drivers, while X.org 6.8.x uses /usr/lib/. The newer (~testing) ebuilds for nVidia drivers have a check to automatically choose the correct place to put drivers. However, if you have "buildpkg" in your FEATURES, or use --buildpkg or --buildpkgonly options, the package will store the drivers at /usr/lib/xorg/, even if your X. org does not use that path. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make you sure you have xorg-x11-6.8.x, and don't have x11-base/xorg-server. 2. Run any of the following: FEATURES=buildpkg emerge nvidia-glx emerge --buildpkg nvidia-glx emerge --buildpkgonly nvidia-glx Actual Results: libXvMCNVIDIA.* and modules/ directories will be installed inside /usr/lib/xorg/ Expected Results: They should be installed at /usr/lib/, instead of /usr/lib/xorg/. Or, at least, ebuild should warn that buildpkg is not supported.
Forgot to say this applies to all 7xxx (and 8174{,-r1} too, I guess), except 7167-r2 ebuild, which does not support "/usr/lib/xorg".
Monolithing Xorg no longer supported -> irrelevant bug.
