$ sudo eselect opengl set ati Switching to ati OpenGL interface... done $ readlink /usr/lib/libGL.so /usr/lib/opengl/ati/lib/libGL.so looks fine. $ sudo eselect opengl set xorg-x11 Switching to xorg-x11 OpenGL interface... done $ readlink /usr/lib/libGL.so $ <nothing returned> looks wrong! I did a bit of snooping, and found that libGL.so comes from mesa, so I re-merged mesa (media-libs/mesa-6.5.1-r1) and it seems to be working again: $ readlink /usr/lib/libGL.so /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.so now, can googleearth work with mesa? it seems to lock-up at the splash screen... thanks! -- Iain Buchanan <iaindb at netspace dot net dot au> The good oxymoron, to define it by a self-illustration, must be a planned inadvertency. -Wilson Follett -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
