I'm still trying to run down this issue. Here's a recap of my crooked path to identify the problem. Initial Problem: Can't run WM like IceWM, however, kdm and KDE work fine. Step 2: Reinstall x11-base/xorg-server and x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel with splitdebug in entropy's client.conf. Result: X is now totally broken, and kdm won't start. Step 3: Disable splitdebug, and reinstall x11-base/xorg-server and x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel. Result: X is still totally broken. KDM won't start. Step 4: Use portage to rebuild x11-base/xorg-server and all x11-drivers/* packages Result: x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel won't build. Fails looking for libxcb.la. Step 5: Rebuild x11-libs/libxcb Result: libxcb.la is still missing (this is a good thing). Step 6: Run revdep-rebuild. Result: About 12 packages are shown as needing revdep-rebuild. I decide to start with x11-libs/xcb-util-0.3.6. Step 7: Try again to rebuild x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel Result: x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel builds successfully, and XDM is working again. Step 8: Run 'equo database spmsync' to let entropy know what I've done. Result: Entropy decides that 8 packages that are actually installed aren't there, and removes them from it's database: >> Scanning Source Package Manager and Entropy databases for differences... >> @@ Someone removed these packages.

They actually were installed. Step 9: Re-install the packages entropy decided where removed. Result: Installation went without issue, and XDM is still working. Step 10: Run 'equo world --ask' to re-install Entropy's version of the packages built with portage. Result: XDM is working. However, I was so excited to have any progress after days of frustration, I forgot to test IceWM (the original problem) in steps 7, 8, and 9. I see the IceWM is still broken. So at least I've restored my system back to it's original partially-broken state. Conclusion: No solutions yet, but several more mysteries added.
