i recently re emerged devfsd, because it was acting up, and so thats fixed now, but now i cant get any 3d acceleration. i am using nvidia drivers. i get the following set of errors when running quake3:
Code:
...loading libGL.so: Initializing OpenGL display
...setting mode 6: 1024 768
Using XFree86-VidModeExtension Version 2.1
XF86DGA Mouse (Version 2.0) initialized
XFree86-VidModeExtension Activated at 1024x768
Using 4/4/4 Color bits, 16 depth, 0 stencil display.
GL_RENDERER: Mesa GLX Indirect


***********************************************************
 You are using software Mesa (no hardware acceleration)!
 Driver DLL used: libGL.so
 If this is intentional, add
       "+set r_allowSoftwareGL 1"
 to the command line when starting the game.
***********************************************************
...WARNING: could not set the given mode (6)
Initializing OpenGL display
...setting mode 3: 640 480
Using XFree86-VidModeExtension Version 2.1
XF86DGA Mouse (Version 2.0) initialized
XFree86-VidModeExtension Activated at 640x480
Received signal 11, exiting...

I tried running it with +set r_allowSoftwareGL 1 and as expected it ran painfully slow. what could i do to fix 3d acceleration?

Have you tried re-emerging nvidia-kernel & nvidia-glx. Also you can check if the link are correct
Quote:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 05-30 14:17 /usr/lib/libGL.so -> /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/libGL.so.1.0.2960
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 05-30 14:17 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 -> /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/libGL.so.1.0.2960

Code:
opengl-update nvidia


Hope this helps, lX.

what driver is specified in your XF86Config file ?

should be "nvidia"

looks like it might be
"mesa"

try UNemerging the nvidia glx and kernel

and re emerging it, and re-edit your XF86Config file.

let us know what you find..
