There is a mega error :p with xorg-server-1.0.99.2. After running, it doesn't renders 80% fonts on screen. Even now I can see only some labels.I can't post emerge --info, because I can't find a terminal.
Confirmed; all bitmap fonts are very random as to when they display. Only appears to be a problem with bitmap fonts. Noticed at first when labels started disappearing gradually from gkrellm, then noticed some disappearing in Firefox too. Possily (more likely) caused by the new compositeproto also. Easiest way to make this happen: find something that shows a bitmap font, switch to another desktop, and switch back. No more text. Does not apply to rxvt-unicode, it appears. Thank goodness for that..

Nevermind about the composite thing -- I already had it disabled in my xorg.conf. The only recently merged thing that could have caused this was xorg-server as originally thought.
The easy way to test what it is, is to try downgrading that component. So can you fix the problem by dropping back to xorg-server 1.0.2?
Backing down to 1.0.2-r3 fixes problem.
Please file this at bugs.freedesktop.org in the xorg product, and make it block bug #5041. Then post the URL here so we can track it. Thanks!
Done. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6581
There is new release of xserver-1.0.99.901. Maybe the problem is fixed and it is worth to merge it to portage.
No I have the same issues with both experimental versions
