14 Jason, thank you very much for your reply!
15
16 Your guess is correct. I have a stable modular xorg-server-1.0 and xorg-x11-7.0
17 installed from the official portage.
18
19 Following your advise I checked the "gentoo-wiki-xgl" article again. I saw there are
20 changes, but it (again) lead me to unmasking many packages and finally installing
21 xorg 7.1. So I reverted the changes and tried another approach.
22
23 I removed the "portage-xgl" overlay and checked-in "hanno-xgl". Much better! Thanks
24 again, Jason!

26 I tried to "emerge compiz" directly but it needed to get "unkeyworded". The
27 following packages:
28 >>x11-wm/compiz
29 >>media-libs/mesa
30 >>x11-libs/libdrm
31 >>x11-base/xgl
32 >>dev-util/git
33 >>media-libs/glitz
34
35 found the way to get their names listed in "/etc/portage/package.keywords" :)

38 Now "emerge -p compiz xgl" has no complains. Actually all dependencies got emerged,
39 but compiz fails with:

70 That's it. I have the feeling I'm very close to achieving the final goal, but I need
71 more help. :)
72
73 I will highly appreciate any advise.
74
75 Thanks in advance!
