I'm having trouble with opengl, all applications that use opengl, say that they can't find opengl library. I'm running X.org 6.7 with nvidia's drivers.

Here's what I've done:
Code:
emerge nvidia-kernel
emerge nvidia-glx
opengl-update nvidia

and updated my xorg.conf. What's wrong? :(

Did you load the nvidia kernel module ?
Try running
Code:
modprobe nvidia
and then restart X.
If this worked, then you have to add nvidia to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6.

If you're using a 2.6.7 kernel, you also have to disable 4k stacks, or try the drivers from the nvidia site.

Yes, I have loaded the module, and it is in modules.autoload :)

EDIT: I tried uninstalling nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel, and installing the driver from nvidia's site. Still doesn't work :(
