I recently installed Gentoo stage 3 and all went smooth. I have an nVidia graphic cards, and I installed the drivers (first via installer, after via emerge). I can play games such as Neverwinter Nights, Quake 3, Foobillard, Enemy Territory, RTCW and others, but I can't play UT nor AA (based on UT).

When i lauch the game, the screensplash appears and then quits with:

OK, thanks, I'll try it out and post results.

Should I unemerge the packages if I have them installed? I'm sure I have glibc installed, but not the other 2.

First check if you have emerged the linux-headers or the linux26-headers with emerge -s. If you haven't installed the 2.6-headers you will have installed the linux-header (for 2.4 kernels)

for explanation:
emerge -C linux-header unmerges the old linux headers
emerge linux26-headers emerges the 2.6 headers
and
USE="nptl" emerge glibc emerges the glibc with the "nptl"-flag
For more infos on nptl: http://gentoo-wiki.com/NPTL#What_is_NPTL.3F

And don't unmerge glibc (!!), just reemerge it with the nptl flag.
