OK, I think this is your clue. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so is merely a symlink. eselect |
| 27 |
opengl creates it by linking to the openGL implementation you choose - |
| 28 |
mesa/nvidia/whatever. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
I think you had a regular file there, put there by Xorg and eselect can |
| 31 |
overwrite it with a symlink. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Are you upgrading from an ancient xorg? |

Yes, that is what happened. So the emerge -C xorg-server; emerge -av xorg- |
| 52 |
server you mention later is probably the correct approach. |
