glxinfo | grep -i direct

Error was (at least I think so) caused by compiling nvidia-drivers against sources with slightly different version then running kernel (I forgot to update symlinc to kernel sources (eselect kernel)).

The interesting part of it is that X sever started at all!
So far I tought that after such compiling X will not start as it happed to me couple of times earlier.

(running kernel was 2.6.32-gentoo-r6 and drivers were compile against -r5)
