[gentoo-user] OpenGL problem after xorg upgrade

[Dale <teendale@vista-express.com>]

Hi,

I upgraded to the modular xorg last night.  I thought all was well till
I noticed something today.  First I noticed that when the screen saver
comes on that it takes up 100% of my CPU.  Thing is, the screen saver
doesn't work anymore.  I remerged all the nvidia stuff, kernel, glx, and
settings, then logged out of KDE and stopped xdm.  Then I unloaded the
nvidia module and ran modules-update and reloaded nvidia.  After that I
restarted xdm.  I get the nvidia white screen when it starts X so nvidia
is working but all the screen savers that use OpenGL do not work.  I
check this by right clicking the desktop and then selecting configure
desktop and clicking screensaver.  The others work though.  It don't
even work in the preview.

Here is my glxinfo:

I'm using KDE 3.5.3 too.  Not sure what else you may need.  Just let me
know if you need more info, and how to get it. 

I can run glxgears and it runs fine.  I just can't figure out why my
screen saver is not working like it did.  Is this something to do with
xorg or KDE? 

Thanks for the help.

Dale
