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

Perhaps the font server needs to be recompiled against the new kernel libraries, or the init file needs to be updated. HTH, Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
