Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Clean out all working X implementations 2./usr/bin/emerge xdirectfb (either one of the ebuilds will do) 3.startxdfb Actual Results: xinit, xauth, and various other X utils aren't found Expected Results: X on directfb ought to have started.
Please, attach complete emerge.log here together with emerge --info and reopen then.
