If you have USE=libglvnd enabled, eselect-opengl is no longer installed, but the files it generated may remain. In this case, it is safe to remove the file if USE=libglvnd is enabled, and to regenerate the file by running `eselect opengl set xorg` (or nvidia, ...) if USE=-libglvnd.

That USE flag is enabled by default, so the upgrade shouldn't break your system unless you have USE="-*" in make.conf. -- Neil Bothwick If only the good die young then what does that say about senior citizens? pgpqYXW_VhmW_.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature
