Oh Gentoo. You get Mesa installed in /usr/lib64/mesa because you have the
option to *also* install proprietary graphics drivers, and then use eselect to
switch between the different providers. I suppose libgbm is not part of that
because neither NVIDIA nor fglrx drivers provide, so there are no conflicts to
solve, I guess.

I also use Gentoo, and I have never had to do such symlinks by hand. Just make
sure 'eselect opengl' it set for "xorg-x11" to have Mesa.

Your kernel driver may be i915, but you most probably do want i965_dri.so. The
reason is that the kernel driver called "i915" supports also i965_dri.so GPUs.
The i915_dri.so is for pretty old GPUs.

Gentoo-specific: Make sure your VIDEO_CARDS contains i965 and intel. Otherwise
the Mesa package won't build the driver you need.

Currently you get a software rasterizer indeed.

It seems there's is something going on with the Weston package too, since
Weston is not finding weston-keyboard. That's not too bad, though.
