Nice forums guys … anyways, I was trying to duplicate my problems on another box (where I just installed a fresh new gentoo system) and am getting the following new errors.

Anyone know what these errors mean? Is this a kernel problem or a lib of some sort problem?

Xlib: extension “GLX” missing on display “:0.0”.
Xlib: extension “GLX” missing on display “:0.0”.
Exception in thread “main” net.java.games.jogl.GLException: glXGetConfig failed: error code GLX_NO_EXTENSION

Any help much appreciated.

You don’t have the GLX extension installed in your X server. No OpenGL applications can work until that extension is installed. You need to install your graphics card vendor’s drivers if they supply any, or Mesa if they don’t.
