Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.8-r3
2.try to run one of many different opengl applications
3.see your application cry in pain

Actual Results:  
The opengl applications either do not work or work horribly

Expected Results:  
These systems are very nice and should not only work, but work well.

down-grading to gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.8-r3 corrects these problems.  This has
been verified on many different systems, I don't claim to know why though.

possibly a dupe of bug 63907

I am told and would agree -- that this other bug (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63907) is the same bug.  I searched and searched to see if it had been reported.  Alas it looks like I posted a duplicate bug!
