for the symlinks you just need to see eselect opengl show to see if it points to
the right driver, but from your log i seem to see that it is set right.

the log says that you have textured video and aiglx enabled. see the
lines at the end before
the device loading to see this. then you have some issues with the
device probing.
it seems that you're trying to use the logitech device via hal but you
don't have
the proper rules in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/

this has been needed some years ago. i don't know if it's still needed
since it's not
present anymore inside the xorg.conf.example. i still have it there
since i'm not into
modifying my xorg configuration now.
