...and xorg-server-1.6.0 (not yes in the tree, but in overlays) doesn't even have source files to built it - your point being ? Does it not being the actually break anything ?

I cannot reproduce this on my ~amd64 machine: zeromancer:~ # grep free /var/log/Xorg.0.log (II) "freetype" will be loaded. This was enabled by default and also specified in the config file. (II) LoadModule: "freetype" (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/fonts//libfreetype.so (II) Module freetype: vendor="X.Org Foundation & the After X-TT Project" zeromancer:~ # qlist -CIve xorg-server x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.3-r3 zeromancer:~ # Please post your "emerge --info" as well as the output of emerge -qpv xorg-server Reopen this bug when you provide the requested information.
(In reply to comment #4) There no /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/fonts/libfreetype.so x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.3-r3 USE="hal ipv6 nptl sdl xorg" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" Hm, last Cardona's patchset (for 1.5.3-r3) consist code which removes loadable font renderer. So, I guess, now xorg-server loads fonts via libXfont. Maybe I wrong, better ask remi.

(In reply to comment #1) > xorg-server-1.5.3-r2 have /usr/lib/module/fonts/libfreetype.so > I've got the same problem, and can't find any "freetype.so" or the like under /usr/lib/xorg/modules, can't remember the version though, may check it at home later. BTW, "dri" fails either, but I've installed the correct driver for my nvidia card.
I've backported a patch from master which removes the freetype module from the autoload list. I won't release a new tarball for such a small fix but it's in my queue. It'll be included in the next xorg-server revbump. In the mean time, just ignore it :) Thanks
Closing.
Hard to ignore when xorg won't start and this is the only error. I pulled my hair out all night while bugs.gentoo.org is unresponsive, reading everywhere that freetype is gone in 1.6, and not find _anywhere_ that's it's gone in 1.5_. My response was to downgrade to r2, save libfreetype, reinstall r4 and startx. I still have many problems so this may be a coincidence, but after that single change, xorg does start now. The documents I found state that freetype is removed from 1.6, not 1.5.3, so this is Gentoo being different? I expect that when I go to freedesktop.org I can count on what I'm reading to be accurate wrt to what version I have installed. If this just slipped in, or it's upstreams fault please say so.
(In reply to comment #10) > Hard to ignore when xorg won't start and this is the only error. _Everyone_ has that error, only because I forgot to backport the one patch that removes the autoloading of the freetype module. > I pulled my > hair out all night while bugs.gentoo.org is unresponsive, reading everywhere > that freetype is gone in 1.6, and not find _anywhere_ that's it's gone in 1.5_. That's because I backported from master the patches that clean up the old font handling from the system. > My response was to downgrade to r2, save libfreetype, reinstall r4 and startx. Useless, the module will indeed be loaded correctly but nothing will ever use it. > I still have many problems so this may be a coincidence, but after that single > change, xorg does start now. You're probably looking at another bug. Here's what I have in my Xorg.0.log and yet it works just fine : (II) "freetype" will be loaded. This was enabled by default and also specified in the config file. [...] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module freetype (II) UnloadModule: "freetype" (EE) Failed to load module "freetype" (module does not exist, 0) So it's nothing to worry about, even if you still have the module configured in your xorg.conf. > The documents I found state that freetype is removed from 1.6, not 1.5.3, so > this is Gentoo being different? Yes, just take a look at the 67 patches in the patchball... > I expect that when I go to freedesktop.org I > can count on what I'm reading to be accurate wrt to what version I have > installed. If this just slipped in, or it's upstreams fault please say so. Don't bug upstream about freetype, it's gone. And as I said in a previous comment, the error message will be gone in the next revbump of xorg-server. You do seem to have a legitimate bug though. Please do open a bug for that. Thanks

reopening
xorg-server-1.5.3-r5 contains the missing patch. Closing with the proper resolution. Thanks
Hello, I have xorg-server-1.5.3-r5 but I still get the following error: (EE) Failed to load module "freetype" (module does not exist, 0) (EE) No drivers available. My card is an ATI ES1000. Flavio
just remove it from your xorg.conf. Thanks
