The kdrive ebuild _in portage_ uses xfree86 sources. The xserver things _on my overlay_ use freedesktop.org. <snip> > I think what I heard was that you could just place the xserver binary > alongside XFree setup and be able to use it.

Yes you can install it alongside xfree, assuming you installed the libs to /usr/local so they don't overwrite xfree's. This is something we (meaning Gentoo) will not do, because /usr/local is not a place a package management system should put things. As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, modifying the ebuilds to use prefixes of /usr/local instead of /usr would solve this, but my versions of the ebuilds will remain fit for inclusion in Portage. <snip more stuff> > Ohh and btw, if you are reworking them, you might want to change the > module name to xserver? Already was. The "kdrive" on my overlay is a modification of that in portage, reflecting usage of imake and therefore xfree86 sources. http://dev.gentoo.org/~spyderous/overlay/x11-base/xserver/
