11 A few updates:
12
13 I'm working on a Mesa ebuild to add; this will provide the gl.h
14 everyone's been complaining about missing. My dev box is really screwy
15 because of orphaned files, things lying around from CVS, etc, so I
16 didn't realize this would actually be required until yesterday.
17
18 Until then, just build xorg without glx.
19
20 People have been trouble actually starting the X server, because it
21 can't find the 'fixed' font. I suspect that the font-misc-misc package
22 is either installing wrong, or the font tools are messed up. Replace the
23 /usr/share/fonts/misc/ directory with one from an older install.
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 You may need to create a symlink /usr/bin/X -> Xorg.
30
31 I also have reports that XKB isn't working properly yet. It'd be nice
32 for someone to look into how to fix this.
33
34 That's all I can think of for now.

36 Thanks,
