there is only xorg-x11 in the list,

i re-installt the nvidia drivers without 32bit compatibility, but it didnt 
work afterwards, either.  i cheched if the /usr/lib64/libGL.so existed, but 
there was only /usr/lib64/libGL.so.1

i linked it to /usr/lib64/libGL.so, and afterwards, emerge -avD libquicktime 
worked.

but xdriinfo still fails with the same error as posted in the last email
any ideas?
