I feel with you :) I recently tried xorg-server-1.6, too, with no
success.
At the moment I am away for two days from my machine, and so I am doing
the BIG update now. xorg-server is upgraded to 1.6.3.901-r2, I followed
the upgrade guide and also did the libxcb stuff. I removed then kdeprefix
use flag, unmerged all of kde-4.2, updated world, depcleaned. Now emerge
@kde-4.3 is running.
And then... we will see. Come on, Gentoo, surprise me, and give me a
running KDE 4.3 desktop with X and OpenGL and mouse and keyboard. That
would be great.
