I have posted a similar post on transgamings forum but I don't expect it to be answered soon so I put my hopes to you guys here!

Anyway, the problem... I use Cedega to play SWG and it worked perfectly yesterday. Yesterday I used X.org 6.7.99.904 and today I upgraded it to the new 6.8. Not that there are that many differences between the two versions but for me it broke Cedega. If I for example try to start an installer using something like

Have not tried it yet, but I will right away... but, is there anyway to do that permanently? It sounds like a bad solution if I am gonna do that every time I start the computer... :/ Thanks anyway for the temporary solution.

Tried to do it and then restart X but the same error is still there. It is a bit stupid that just upgrading x.org makes this kind of errors accour... :/

you need to do this _before_ you start you X session, so if you have kdm running or anything you need to put that somewhere in a startup script, or try creating an new variable in /etc/env.d.

this error occured to me with 6.7 already, so i can't tell if we are talking about the exact same error here. but it's seems to be the same problem... what graphics driver do you use anyway? this line above is only for nvidia driver users, you need to adjust it, to point to your opengl lib.

I am using the nvidia driver.... the lastest there is in portage. Still, there seem to be a link somewhere that is broken. On the Transgaming forums someone posted a fix on it that I do not really understand... and since that forum is not as visited as this one and I need a fix as soon as possible I cut and paste it in here so maybe others here could help me solve it!

try removing (move it to a backup dir) your xorg.conf, and use X --configure to generate a new one. tweak it (copy-> paste from your old config), and restart X.

That's how I solved it...

Too bad it did not work for me :/ SWG or any other thing started from cedega/p2p wont start and is generating the same error as earlier...

Thanks for the time answering to the thread though. There must be something simple to do to solve this permanently. Tomorrow I reemerge X.org 6.8 as a desperate try to fix things!

More ideas are welcome!

Oki I solved it. It helped with re-emerging glibc... just had to fix the blocked package that it relied upon (yeah, I know it is simple but I am not that much into doing stuff with the system just yet! =).

Finally...
