Disable z-axis rotation

Hey guys,
i'm currently working on a project where i need to integrate a 3d tracking stick into my game.
The tracking system delivers a rotation matrix. If I multiply it with the current modelview matrix in opengl, everything works fine.
Now, as I want to use the rotation data for camera movement, i want to prevent the camera from being rotated in z-direction, meaning that the horizon should always be upright.
My idea was to extract the local axis z-rotation of the object and rotate the object afterwards in the opposite direction.
Here is my code. You could use any glRotate commands for testing to simulate a given rotation matrix.
Unfortunately, my code does not what I expected. Does someone has a better idea how to do it?
You have a typo in these lines:
xaxis[0] = xaxis[0];xaxis[1] = xaxis[1];xaxis[2] = xaxis[2];

Oh, these lines should have been:
xaxis[0] = modelview[0];
xaxis[1] = modelview[1];
xaxis[2] = modelview[2];
I renamed my variables for better reading here, that made that typo. In my original code they're correct.
xaxis[0] = modelview[0];
xaxis[1] = modelview[1];
xaxis[2] = modelview[2];
