Thanks Daniel, I was trying dev-libs/efl-9999 and e17 from trunk because of a mesa bug[1] which when it interacts with the enlightenment compositor causes the desktop to freeze. I was hoping a later build may have had different code which would overcome the mesa/dri loop, but alas it does not. Next I will try a later mesa version just in case.
