20 revdep-rebuild on both systems shows no broken binaries. I have done
21 another emerge -e world and nothing has changed.

83 Everything seems to build and link fine on the laptop and I can use the
84 nVidia openGL drivers on it. The only thing I can't do is start KDE from
85 KDM. I think that probably has nothing to do with openGL any more. I
86 re-emerged kdesktop with debug, but I don't know where to look for the
87 debug output.

149 Everything seems to work fine on the desktop as long as I use only the
150 mesa openGL libraries.
151
152 Both systems are using nvidia-drivers-1.0.8776 and xorg-x11-7.1.
