It doesnt look like you have configured your x-server properly
in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file check if the following changes have been made
Quote:

Section "Device"
...
Driver "nvidia"
..

Quote:
Section "Module"
...
Load "glx"
...
EndSection
also comment out the line with dri in the module section
Quote:
Section "Screen"
...
DefaultDepth 24
...
EndSection

then run
Code:
 eselect opengl set nvidia
