> libGL error: failed to authenticate magic 5 This usually indicates that it can open the drm device, but is unable to create a dri context. Possible reasons include trying to run the application while switched to another vt. You'll have to give more information on how this started happening.
The same (failed to load driver: nouveau) happens with gnome-control-center-3.4.2-r1.

Looking up the translation in /usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/libc.mo reveals that it actually means "Cannot allocate memory". You could try with in-kernel nouveau instead of x11-base/nouveau-drm.
In-kernel nouveau is already enabled: rose@impala:/home_impala/rose(17)$ gzip -cd /proc/config.gz | grep -i nouveau CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU=y CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU_BACKLIGHT=y CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU_DEBUG=y and x11-base/nouveau-drm is not installed: rose@impala:/home_impala/rose(18)$ emerge -pvD nouveau-drm These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

(In reply to comment #4) > and x11-base/nouveau-drm is not installed: So this is a different setup than from comment #0? > rose@lynx:/home/rose/Pictures/2012/07/30(13)$ qlist -Iv nouveau > x11-base/nouveau-drm-99999999 > What I am doing wrong? The problem could be kernel related. Try backing up your .config, then run "make defconfig" and only additionally enable nouveau and the drivers/filesystems that are necessary to boot the system in menuconfig. Alternatively, boot with drm.debug=14 and look at dmesg when the libGL error comes (it helps to have CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME enabled for this).
Btw, it seems me, that this issue happens on all of my systems, even on some without NVIDIA cards and without nouveau drivers, e.g.: root@caiman:/usr/src/linux(98)# lspci | grep VGA 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RS880 [Radeon HD 4290] root@caiman:/usr/src/linux(100)# gzip -cd /proc/config.gz | grep "^[^#].*DRM" CONFIG_DRM=y CONFIG_DRM_USB=m CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=y CONFIG_DRM_TTM=y CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=y CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS=y CONFIG_DRM_I2C_CH7006=m CONFIG_DRM_I2C_SIL164=m CONFIG_DRM_UDL=m root@caiman:/usr/src/linux(101)# gzip -cd /proc/config.gz | grep NOUVEAU # CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU is not set root@caiman:/usr/src/linux(103)# ll /usr/lib64/dri/nouveau_dri.so /bin/ls: cannot access /usr/lib64/dri/nouveau_dri.so: No such file or directory root@caiman:/usr/src/linux(104)# gnome-control-center libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib64/dri/tls/nouveau_dri.so libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib64/dri/nouveau_dri.so libGL error: dlopen /usr/lib64/dri/nouveau_dri.so failed (/usr/lib64/dri/nouveau_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) libGL error: unable to load driver: nouveau_dri.so libGL error: driver pointer missing libGL error: failed to load driver: nouveau libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib64/dri/tls/swrast_dri.so libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib64/dri/swrast_dri.so libGL: Can't open configuration file /root/.drirc: No such file or directory. libGL: Can't open configuration file /root/.drirc: No such file or directory. root@tiger:/root(6)# lspci | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.

I have to correct Comment 7. When the issued happened I was sitting at "impala" and was logged in via ssh with X11 forwarding in "caiman" and "tiger". If I am sitting directly at "caiman" and calling gnome-control-center, then there is not any issue, also the issue on some other systems (with NVIDIA cards) I have seen during ssh sessions disappeared, when I was directly connected. So the local xserver at "impala" seems to be responsible. I will investigate this further.
After changing the monitor section of xorg.conf or removing xorg.conf the issue at "impala" disappered.
