1 The NVidia ebuild script in portage lacks a PROVIDE line. If I understand
2 the system correctly, it should probably provide virtual/opengl. The
3 NVIDIA_GLX tarball has a full OpenGL implementation that gets installed,
4 and if Mesa gets written over that, you will not get correct hardware
5 accelerated 3D on an NVidia card... which is bad =P
