Howdy,
I have a home server/htpc (~x86) that I'm finally updating after a few
months and I hit an issue with xorg-server. Here's the background:
Was at xorg-server-1.6.3 and current sync tried to upgrade to 1.7.1,
which failed to compile. In researching on b.g.o., discovered that
nvidia has not released a driver yet that will work with 1.7.1, so
followed the bug report directions and masked out several packages to
prevent 1.7.1 upgrading.
So next attempt at upgrading was to 1.6.5. That failed too, so back
to b.g.o. where the first directions were to install nvidia-
drivers-190.42. But nvidia-drivers has a dependency to xorg-
server-1.6.5, so had to mask >1.6.3 to get nvidia to emerge. Then hit
the bug with nvidia-settings with the work around of symbolically
linking /usr/include/X11/extensions/xf86vmproto.h to /usr/include/X11/
extensions/xf86vmode.h. Finally removed the >xorg-server-1.6.3 mask
and successfully emerged.
So now it looks like I have xorg-server-1.6.5 and nvidia-
drivers-190.42 installed.
But when starting the xorg server, it is unable to load glx, dri, and
dri2 modules:

I've even rebooted and still see the same problem.
I'm not having any luck finding a hint on b.g.o. or with searching (I
use startpage instead of google).
Here's my xorg.conf which works with xorg-server-1.6.3 (it's a little
explicit because it is connected (DVI) to an A/V receiver (Yamaha RX-
V861) which doesn't pass thru EDID):

Any ideas?
