This is the first xorg release, in fact first ebuild ever, that was so poorly constructed as to start spawning shell processes to the point of total system lockup. I've been running the "-* ~x86" releases of xorg since I did the setup of the system and this has never been an issue before. Yes, I know the doco says that "~x86" could introduce a package that may break the system, but to doco never says that "~x86" will lock up your system just for trying to emerge it... -- [email protected] mailing list
