5 | A few updates:

7 | I'm working on a Mesa ebuild to add; this will provide the gl.h
8 | everyone's been complaining about missing. My dev box is really screwy
9 | because of orphaned files, things lying around from CVS, etc, so I
10 | didn't realize this would actually be required until yesterday.
11 |
12 | Until then, just build xorg without glx.
13
14 This should be almost fixed, with the exception of opengl-update (see
15 patch in a reply to Georgi, and a proposal as a reply to that) and some
16 external apps installing xorg modules.
17
18 | People have been trouble actually starting the X server, because it
19 | can't find the 'fixed' font. I suspect that the font-misc-misc package
20 | is either installing wrong, or the font tools are messed up. Replace the
21 | /usr/share/fonts/misc/ directory with one from an older install.
22
23 Should be fixed; see post from ~5 min. ago.
24
25 | Also there have been errors of the freetype/type1/trap modules not found
26 | on startx. They aren't yet built in xorg-server, so you may need to copy
27 | them over from an older install.
28
29 Upstream problem, not yet fixed to my knowledge.
30
31 | You may need to create a symlink /usr/bin/X -> Xorg.
32
33 I'm starting to work on an upstream patch for this.
34
35 | I also have reports that XKB isn't working properly yet. It'd be nice
36 | for someone to look into how to fix this.
37
38 This should be fixed in updated xkbdata.

40 Thanks,
