I've been having some issues myself (mythtv manages to mess up my screen
royally, I need to switch to a text virtual console and back to X to
make the screen legible after viewing a TV-recording in myth). I just
noticed that the version of the headers for xcb do not match the version
on libxcb
I cleared everything X related from my box, and it is still alive and well :-)
Now, as I was explaining in my previous thread, I would like to
re-install X and all related apps, but forcing the older libxcb
version. After I upgraded to libxcb 1.4 a few days ago, my X was
unstable and kept
Sorry, I don't tinker around with gentoo much, mostly just user :-)
I got around this block so far: also masked =x11-libs/libXext-1.0.5,
=x11-libs/libX11-1.2, in addition to libxcb 1.4. Reading ebuilds
really helps! ha.

Now I run into a bit of a problem:

I attached a build.log for this package... Can anyone tell me if this
is fixable? Maybe some other

It sounds to me like you are worming your way into a deeper hole.
Just FYI, I went through the libxcb upgrade procedure, am running the
libxcb 1.4 and latest X server, etc. and everything is working just
fine.

Thanks, Michael - I generally turn to google first. It's been a tough

But xorg-server-1.5 was perfectly stable for me, so I don't see how
kernel upgrade would be helpful here,
