Hi, I know xorg 6.8.1.904 is hardmasked, but we need someone to test it before it gets into ~x86, don't we? :) the opengl-update ebuild warns that this version only works with xorg 6.8.0-r4, but it does NOT work with xorg 6.8.1.904. When starting the X server, it will report the GLX module cannot be found. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge xorg-x11-6.8.1.904 2. emerge opengl-update-2.1.0-r1 3. startx Actual Results: GLX is disabled Expected Results: GLX should have been initialised.

That's funny, I tested 6.8.1.904 and it works fine here. But I don't have an Nvidia card to test with -- perhaps you'd like to donate one?
Bug confirmed. opengl-update-2.1.0-r1 b0rks nvidia-glx. The upgrade removes the symlink libglx.so -> /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/extensions/libglx.so in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/ There may be other problems but manually adding the symlink allows Xorg to load the glx module.
what version of xorg-x11 do you have? 2.1.0 only works with >=6.8.0-r4 which uses /usr/lib/modules/extensions
see first comment, I'm using xorg-x11-6.8.1.904
The same problem here: [ebuild R ] x11-base/opengl-update-2.1.0-r1 [ebuild R ] x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.1.904 [ebuild R ] media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.6629-r5
using xorg-x11-6.8.1.904 as well
additionally my xorg-x11-6.8.1.904 is definitely looking for libglx.so in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/ as can be seen from /var/log/Xorg.0.log: (II) LoadModule: "glx" (II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so (II) Module glx: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation" the link libglx.so -> /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/extensions/libglx.so does exist in /usr/lib/modules/extensions but xorg isn't looking for it there
just realized: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Feb 3 11:31 X11R6 -> ../usr so /usr/lib/modules/extensions/ and /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/ are the same directory regardless of where xorg will look for it the symlink is not getting created
I'm confused by this statement: the link libglx.so -> /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/extensions/libglx.so does exist in /usr/lib/modules/extensions but xorg isn't looking for it there So does it create the link or not? Does the target (/usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/extensions/libglx.so) exist or not?
just noticed this is a dupe... please respond in that other bug *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 79552 ***

Does the target (/usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/extensions/libglx.so) exist or not? Sorry to confuse. I had already manually created the symlink in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/ to get glx support when I saw the post about xorg using /usr/lib/modules/extensions/ instead. So I checked /usr/lib/modules/extensions/ and noticed the symlink without realizing at the time that /usr/X11R6/ was symlinked to /usr/ and that I was actually looking at the symlink that I created. But my xorg log still shows that it is looking in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/ for the file.
Add ModulePath "/usr/lib/modules" to your xorg.conf -- can read more about what this does in xorg.conf man page.
This problem seems to be fixed when you emerge the following: nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel nvidia-settings emul-linux-x86-nvidia and then just do the following: (Follow the directions from http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/nvidia-guide.xml) modprobe nvidia update-modules opengl-update nvidia
