Someone posted recently about an upgrade that affected him (looking...
can't find it). He downgraded to fix it, but it wasn't nvidia or x
from memory. Sorry for being vague, I'll keep looking.
Ah, I seem to remember the problem was/is mesa 7.8.2 being slow, in which
case a downgrade helped. Was that it? I can't find the thread myself
right now, though.
That's it! mesa tinka yousa system broken! 7.8.2 down to 7.7.1 worked
for the OP:

"Preventing a package from being updated"
Can someone who hit this and cured it describe the symptoms seen? I might have
the same issue but it's a lot of rebuilding. I might just be suffering from
the recent 2.6.33 - 2.6.35 IO issues.
I had a strange glitch recently where upgrading the nvidia drivers failed to
create one important symlink. I think it was this one but I can't promise:
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so ->
../../../opengl/nvidia/extensions/libglx.so.173.14.28
I use 260.19.12 on my newer machine, so the glitch may have happened on that
machine instead of this one.
IIRC I fixed it my creating the symlink by hand. I haven't used eselect since
then to find out if my fix is permanent, though.
