I had a rendering glitch similar to the one shown in your pictures. I
don't have an nVidia card, so I'm not sure how similar they are, but I was
able to solve my problem by placing the OpenGL headers from the nVidia
driver package in /usr/X11R6/include/GL instead of the headers that came
with the system. In your case, I suppose you should just check to make
sure the nVidia driver ebuild placed the appropriate headers in that
directory. You may also need to recompile your OpenGL apps. Hope that
helps.
