Bugzilla Bug 127390

Modular xorg-x11 is in unstable so I thought I'd give it a try. Followed the
official migration page, revdep-rebuild etc.

xorg-server-1.0.2 emerged fine, but did not produce a nice system. Everytime
the gdm server started, it would crash, and ask "The greeter application
appears to be crashing, Attempting to use a different one." With an OK button
which would do the same thing.

xorg seems to be working though, since I can see gui stuff. startx loads gnome
but doesn't seem to allow me to open any applications (i just tried terminal).

So I found bug #127333, which recommends an upgrade to xorg-server-1.0.2-r1,
unfortunately, I cannot get it to compile!

Created an attachment (id=82984) [details]
Portage error log

What's `eselect opengl show` give? If not xorg-x11, try switching to it.

It was set to 'nvidia' so I switched it to 'xorg-x11'.

Alas, no change in emerging xorg-server or in restarting gdm.

Could you reinstall glproto and eselect-opengl, tell me which versions you
installed, and try again?

No change.

app-admin/eselect-opengl-1.0.3
x11-proto/glproto-1.4.6

Could you post `emerge info` output? In particular, I already know I'm curious
about whether you're on amd64. If you are, it could be a buggy eselect-opengl
that symlinks stuff in /usr/include/GL/ to lib32.

I'm definitely ~amd64 :)

During my initial install xorg-server failed to compile; looking for a solution
I found bug #111877. I followed the steps in Comment 41 to get my xorg-server
compiled (as I report in comment 49).

Since I have a broken system, and nothing else to do on my main pc, I've
decided to upgrade to gcc-3.4.6, glibc-2.4, and completely rebuild my whole
system. As I've heard it is not such a bad thing to do when you upgrade a major
version of glibc (should take another day or so (700 packages!))
