With both the 5.00 and 5.01 ebuild the xml config file for hypertorus leaves out the correct option to pass in order to enable transparency. Patch attached.
Created attachment 101452 [details, diff] hypertorus transparency patch I'll send this upstream as well, so eventually the ebuilds don't have to apply the patch themselves.
Fixed in 5.01-r2, thanks for the patch.
jwz, any status of this? we are still applying this patch in 5.02.
This was fixed differently in 5.02, you don't need this patch any more. (One of the <options> should always be the no-args version, to say what the program does when run with no command-line arguments. The xml file before this patch said, "with no -mode arg, the default is transparent". Problem was, the C source defaulted to 'surface'. So I changed it so that it defaults to 'transparent'.)
