What's wrong with the modular X compile?
It is not in stable yet, besides it is not recommended if you are using nvidia binary drivers as I am. Steph
Modular X has been stable for a month now, and 7.0 works fine with the nVidia binary drivers. 7.1 is the one that has issues, and it is still ~-masked on platforms that use the nVidia and ATI binary drivers.
It ain't showing as stable on my system : # emerge -pv xorg-x11 These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Do you have something explicitly masked in /etc/portage/package.keywords or package.mask?

i have had problems with nvidia and modular x. it didn´t render the fonts properly. so i installed xorg-x11-6.8.2-r8. now, almost nothing compiles, not even fluxbox, who shouldn´t be that demanding.

They should work fine with 7.0 (at least, the newer ones). You'd have to uninstall all of the modular X pieces before attempting to install monolithic X again.
Monolithic X is no longer supported, please update to modular.
