$ 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!
