Iam not sure if above lines makes any sense to anyone but I am _VERY_ disappointed by this problem, not angry but disappointed, isn't all these files suppose to have installed when i did kde, isn't this something similar to rpm hell that we see in RH ,I think we can discuss this later on...i didn't expected something like this....if someone doesn't agery with me then pls tell me why iam not able to run kde once i did emerge kde?
one more thing ..when i did emerge opengl there was this warning this line that i have noted down:
BEWARE 1
The version of XFree won't work with ati-drivers-2.51-r1, if u r using them then please unmerge ati-drivers and emerge xfree-drm
so even though i have a ATI card i didn't install emerge ati-drivers or ati-gatos....and yes just to keep the topic on track i am able to run wmaker but not kde..

I don't have any experience with ATI cards (at least not for a while), but it sounds like maybe you should just use the one that comes with xfree.
You can setup /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 by typing the following as root:
# ln -sf /usr/lib/opengl/xfree/lib/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 # ldconfig
Check to see that the link is still there ok after running ldconfig, and if not, you might want to put /usr/lib/opengl/xfree/lib in your /etc/ld.so.conf file instead -- and again, run ldconfig.
If things are running slower than you'd like, you can play with installing ati-gatos or ati-drivers, but things might not work, and then you can always switch back by pointing the link back again and re-running ldconfig.
