You shouldn't have to build and install Mesa. The program "opengl-update" just changes some links from "/usr/lib" to another directory. The files for your "mesa" build are still there. Just not linked to "libGL" in "/usr/lib". FYI, the "mesa" files are built when you build xfree.
I'd look up the directory where the Mesa files are kept, but I don't have my Gentoo box in front of me. I'll do it when I get home tonight. -Nathan Standard Disclaimer: The above statements are my current understanding of the gentoo platform.

It's radeon and no I did not. If Mesa is used I don't need to switch back because the driver fglrx works as long as I don't use the OpenGL lib provided by ATI. I looked into the /usr/lib directory and there the libGL.so.1.2 is still the one from ATI.
