Hmmm.... here's mine:

GentooPenguin$ ls -lh /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/
total 392K
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  723 2010-04-04 22:22 libGL.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   10 2010-04-04 22:22 libGL.so -> libGL.so.1

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 383K 2010-04-04 22:22 libGL.so.1.2

Note the "libGL.la" file. I wonder where yours has got to, or if it's
necessary for proper operation.

When I check which package produces this file I get:

GentooPenguin$ /usr/src/linux-2.6.31-gentoo-r6 $ equery belongs libGL.la
[ Searching for file(s) libGL.la in *... ]
media-libs/mesa-7.5.2 (/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.la)

You're running a newer version of mesa aren't you? Perhaps it doesn't
produce this file.

Why are libX11-xcb.so.1, libX11.so.6, libdrm.so.2 in the
/opt/gfx-test/lib directory rather than in /usr/lib as they are on my
machine?

The same as on my machine, but you need links from
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions for each of these files. Have you done:

GentooPenguin# eselect opengl set xorg-x11

Sometimes this works.

Again there are links to libs in /opt/gfx-test that aren't on my
machine.

Oh dear! Neither can mine:

(EE) Failed to load module "xtrap" (module does not exist, 0)

I'd better remove it from my xorg.conf.

Really odd. Have you re-emerged all the drivers found in
/var/db/pkg/x11-drivers? I'm starting to stab in the dark here.

> What does glxinfo | grep render say for you?

direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R300 20060815 x86/MMX/SSE2 NO-TCL

Do you have this section in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "DRI"
        Mode         0666
EndSection

Have you followed the Hardware Acceleration Guide's Kernel config
directions?

I've got the:

Processor type and features --->
<*> MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support

Device drivers --->
   Graphics support --->
      <M> /dev/agpgart (AGP Support) --->
      <M>  Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI
      support) --->


selected, as well as:

	<M> ATI Radeon

What have you got in this directory:

GentooPenguin$ ls /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 17820 2009-12-22 00:59 libdbe.so

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 26052 2009-12-22 00:59 librecord.so

Note the links to the /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/extensions directory.

I hope something in here helps!
