If using udev, add your user to the "video" group to be able to
use the nvidia devices required for 3d to function properly.
POST-INSTALL
Use contrib/gl-select-x11r7 from ports to select the correct gl/glx
libraries and extensions like so:
# gl-select nvidia
POST-REMOVE
Use contrib/gl-select-x11r7 from ports to revert to the x11r7 gl/glx
libraries and extensions like so:
# gl-select xorg
When UPGRADING/DOWNGRADING the nvidia port (where the version changes),
use gl-select to revert to xorg and then re-select nvidia in order to
refresh the libGLcore and libGL symlinks, like so:
# prt-get update nvidia
# gl-select xorg; gl-select nvidia
