Owen,

Out of curiosity, is GLX still operational with  NPTL enabled.  I completely rebuild my system from scratch without NPTL in order to get operational.  The source of the problem may have been elsewhere, but I believe that there is a warning in the glibc ebuild saying that GLX will not operate with NPTL enabled.

Thanks,
Craig

Well, I finally found the answer to my problems.  I needed to re-emerge
nvidia-glx (that's right--nvidia-glx, *not* nvidia-kernel!).  mplayer
works, wine works, xmms works.

Though I'm not overly impressed with wine's performance.  It's slower
than it was on 2.4 without nptl.  Though to be fair it doesn't seem to
be wine that's going slow, it's X that's hogging all the resources.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to get DGA to work in starcraft for
battle.net..
