No. The current nvidia drivers are incompatible with the new Xorg 7.1
API. If you want to use the nvidia drivers you have to mask xorg-server
1.0.99 until Nvidia fix them, probably with the first 9xxx release.

nope, the 'newest' Xorg 7.1 had some incompatible ABI changes. And 
nvidia+latest X CAN result in missing fonts. There are ways to circumvent it.
Hm, have you unmasked any X stuff - or is everything over 7.0 unmasked already 
(if it is unmasked by the devs: why? 7.1 makes lots of troubles. Not smart. 
If it is unmasked by you, check your /etc/portage/package.mask)

 OK this looks like a nice adventure but know one thing.  Before this
 update I didn't have the nvidia-kernel either and redraw was fine.

 So something else has happened ... eh?

maybe. Maybe a fontconfig update, maybe a X update, maybe some other lib, X 
depends on was installed, that is slower than the old version.

But hardware acceleration is never wrong ;)

 What is the advantage of never using `deep'... seems I recall reading
 here that it was sort of necessary after a major update and sync.

  Try revdep-rebuild, maybe it will solve the problem.

 Well it found a pretty basic package to be broken:
 gcc-4.1.1F and is not running this:
 emerge --oneshot  =sys-devel/gcc-4.1.1F

 I think this will run for a while do think it will have bearing on
 the slow redraw I see?


no, maybe it is fontconfig, maybe your update changed the opengl you are using 
(have you checked, that you are using nvidia-glx as a nvidia user and 
atis-glx as ati user?), maybe something else. Do you have amd64 and 
cool'n'quiet activated? Or a P4 that is overheating and throttling?

--deep is almost never needed. Some people love it and tell everybody to use 
it. Usually people who are version number freaks. But in 90% it is useless to 
harmfull.

I've run into some kind of madness with gcc.  Afer the rebuild cited
above I'm told it installed successfully but then another fresh revdep
tells me this is broken:

  broken /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/libgcjawt.laes (requires
  /usr/lib/lib-gnu-java-awt-peer-gtk.la)

  broken /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/libgij.la (requires
 /usr/lib/libgcj.la) done.

And wants to run the hours long oneshot again.

but since you say its not likely to be related to my redraw problem I
think I'll start a new thread about that.

About checking glx.  I'm not sure what you meant there...  I guess
nvidia-glx and atis-glx are modules?... Modprobe knows nothing about
them here. /usr/src/linux/.config shows one setting related to nvidia:
CONFIG_AGP_NVIDIA=m. 
Can you explain a little more what you mean there?

I have an MSI FX5700LE-TD256 vid card.  But prior to this upgrade I
had good redraw / scroll speeds.

No amd64... its Celeron MSI 865PE mobo. about overheat: I see the
redraw problem right at boot too before overheating would have happened.

Hi again,
Don't have your original mail (with error messages) but shortly:
Open the 'broken' *.la file/s and find the place where the broken paths
are (IIRC it's /usr/lib/... instead of /usr/lib/../../../..).
One solution is to manually edit the 'broken' *.la files putting the
right paths *or* IMHO create a link with the short-path name pointing to
the correct one. Sorry if this is too vague. Used the first method.
PS: could use 'qlist' or 'equery' with 'grep' to find the right paths.

since rumen answered the gcc problem
(I would backup the la files and remove then, than rebuild gcc. AFAIK they are 
not needed anymore and leftovers), I try to answer your opengl question.

No, nvidia-glx is NOT the kernel module. That is nvidia-kernel!

You don't have the latest nvidia drivers installed?

That might be the culprit!

emerge nvidia-kernel
emergen nvidia-glx
eselect opengl set nvidia (or opengl-update nvidia)
change 'nv' in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to nvidia

restart X.
