The command `eselect opengl set nvidia` now creates a symlink named "libglx.so.190.42" instead of "libglx.so" in /usr/$(libdir)/xorg/modules/extensions/. The result is that Xorg cannot load the GLX extension because it can't find it (it expects "libglx.so"). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge =app-admin/eselect-opengl 2. eselect opengl set nvidia 3.

Fixed with 1.1.1 which i added to main tree. Note to self: I should really get some nvidia, aparently they must do everything differently than other implementations.

According to the duplicate above, 1.1.1 still doesn't work.

Try to changing it to xorg-x11 and back to nvidia if you have issues, but it IS fixed.
Also remember to restart your X session after updating that eselect...
okay, it works now here: 1. emerge -v1 app-admin/eselect-opengl-1.1.1 2. eselect opengl set nvidia 3. restart X 4. glxgears works grep GLX /var/log/Xorg.0.log (II) NVIDIA GLX Module 190.42 Tue Oct 20 21:19:30 PDT 2009 (II) Loading extension GLX (**) NVIDIA(0): Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true" (**) NVIDIA(0): Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true" (II) Nov 09 15:14:26 NVIDIA(0): Support for GLX with the Damage and Composite X extensions is (**) Nov 09 15:14:27 NVIDIA(0): Enabling 32-bit ARGB GLX visuals.
