have you edited xorg.conf/XF86config(-4)?
Have you put 'Load glx' there?

No, just now I added it in /etc/X11/XF86config ( I don't use xorg, - yet).
Then I switched back to my former configuration "opengl-update xfree",
re-emerged 3ddesktop, and now I get a different error message:
----------------
klaus@socrates ~ $ 3ddesk --acquire
Attempting to start 3ddesktop server.
Daemon started. Run 3ddesk to activate.
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
3ddeskd: glXIsDirect failed, no Direct Rendering possible!
3ddeskd: Please configure hardware acceleration. Exiting.
Server not found after waiting 5 seconds.
Could not find server.
Try starting manually (3ddeskd)
----------------
What's missing now? Which package contains XFree86-DRI? emerge -s didn't
give me any result. How do I configure hardware acceleration?

Are you using X.org or XFree? If X.org, I've found, at least with my
setup, that 3ddeskd does not work for some reason. I copied over my
exact XFree configuration to X.org (which had worked while under XFree)
and once I was using X.org (and I did recompile 3ddeskd against X.org
too...) it no longer worked which sucked :(

you have not read the Documentation on gentoo.org nor the nvidia readme. That
is wrong.

You are usiing the nividia drivers? Then you need Load glx in your config AND
you have to remove all dri-stuff. and opengl-update nvidia

You are NOT using the nvidia drivers? read the documentation, add dri-stuff
and run opengl-update xfree.


And you did: adding Load glx, installing nvidia-drivers, but borking
everything wioth your opengl-update and a incomplete config.

It's all in the docu. Please do not be such lazy.
