29 I suspect you're trying to emerge the wrong thing:
30
31 You have presumably not been using xfs up to this point (since they're
32 all masked), so where is the font server coming from:
33
34 Must be xorg itself:
35
36 emerge -pv xorg-x11
37
38 Calculating dependencies ...done!

48 /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc:x11-base/xorg-x11:font-server -
49 Build XFS, the X Font Server
50
51 I would suggest that you consider re-emerging xorg-x11.
52
53 Perhaps the font server needs to be recompiled against the new kernel
54 libraries, or the init file needs to be updated.
