It is. and I still get the same message :(

NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidiactl (Permission denied).

I looked at my xorg.conf and added certain lines:

At Section "ServerLayout" I added:

Option    "AIGLX" "true"



At Section "Extensions" I added:
Option         "Composite" "Enable"

an t Section "Screen" I added as well:
Option         "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"

but always, even if I run compiz-manager as root (sudo compiz-manager),
I receive THIS ERROR:

Checking for Xgl: not present


and I am not getting smart what I did wrong.


xorg was built with these flags:

x11-base/xorg-server-1.11.2-r2 was built with the following:
USE="ipv6 kdrive (multilib) nptl udev xorg -dmx -doc -minimal
-static-libs -tslib -xnest -xvfb"
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z,lazy"



here is my xorg.xonf.....
