Here's my deal. Whenever I try to run quake3 or any opengl game I get booted back to the desktop and the resolution is set waaaay too low.

I have the nvidia 6106 drivers (emerged w/AK="~x86") the 2.6.7-r11 gentoo-dev-source. nvidia.ko loads fine, my xf86config is correct, glxinfo shows, glxinfo | grep direct is yes and glxgears gets 2000fps. And how about this, GL screen savers work... ?

pleeeeeeeez help this helpless noob!

alright, fixed it.

I uninstalled alll drivers and everything and emerged the 6106 (put ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" in /etc/make.conf for this emerge [for beta software masks]) and I was able to run opengl-update nvidia with no problems. I added the nvidia module into autoload and rebooted. I then emerged nvidia-settings (also with ACC KW x86) and rebooted again (for safe measure) all is well now so I guess that's what did it.

I lied! it was a sound issues all along!

I rebooted and what not and my opengl games stopped working so I was bent. I was later dinking around with xmms and changed my audio to a specific device (/dev/dsp) and viola! opengl games work again. problem is no sounds in kde anymore
