Hi, all.

I try to avoid posting to the list as I try to resolve problems on my own.
However, I have run into this problem that I can't get resolved.  I am 
pretty much a Gentoo newbie, but less so with linux.

I have successfully installed Gentoo 2006.0  from the  Universal Install 
CD (amd64 arch).  I am have  Xorg-x11 7.0 emerged and, I think, 
configured correctly - no unresolved EEs or WWs in /var/log/Xorg.0.log.  
Using "startx" brings up twm and it looks fine.

Regarding the nvidia-drivers, I first emerged nvidia-glx and 
nvidia-kernel.  While running # revdep-rebuild, I get this message:

  broken /usr/lib32/opengl/nvidia/lib/libGL.so.1.0.8756   \
  (requires libGLcore.so.1 libX11.so.6 libXext.so.6 libnvidia-tls.so.1)

After running # eselect opengl set nvidia, revdep-rebuild produces this:

 broken /usr/lib32/opengl/nvidia/lib/libGL.so.1.0.8756  \
 (requires libX11.so.6 libXext.so.6)

I found when I removed nvidia (# emerge -C nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel) and 
rerun # revdep-rebuild, the output is clean - all linking consistent.

As an experiment, I emerged the new nvidia-drivers (using keyword 
~amd64).  running # revdep-rebuild resulted in the same "broken" output 
as the first one above.

I followed the migrating to modular x guide and the nvidia guide.  I 
have checked the gentoo wiki and even tried googling for the solution, 
but have been unable to find the solution.

Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
Bill W.
