I was using compiz-Fusion from the xeffects overlay, as it worked, i removed beryl (removed the package.keywords, use and unmask references) and emerge --unmerge beryl aquamarine. (As with both installed i had dependency problems with emerald to update). This solved my conflict of emerald, so I proceeded with emerge --sync && emerge -avuDN world Suddenly X reboots. I relog and relounch my emerge Suddenly X reboots. I relog switch back to kde and relounch my emerge: then works fine again Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.with Compiz-fusion launhed 2.emerge cpio 2.8 3. Actual Results: X restarts Expected Results: emerge itself normally... how can emerge of a program make X restart without a warning. Fixed when switched back to KDE Here is a copy from a part of the emerge.log 1184622858: >>> emerge (4 of 54) app-arch/cpio-2.8 to / 1184622858: === (4 of 54) Cleaning (app-arch/cpio-2.8::/usr/portage/app-arch/cpio/cpio-2.8.ebuild) 1184622858: === (4 of 54) Compiling/Merging (app-arch/cpio-2.8::/usr/portage/app-arch/cpio/cpio-2.8.ebuild) 1184624342: Started emerge on: Jul 17, 2007 00:19:02 1184624342: *** emerge --newuse --deep --ask --update --verbose world 1184624384: >>> emerge (1 of 51) app-arch/cpio-2.8 to / 1184624384: === (1 of 51) Cleaning (app-arch/cpio-2.8::/usr/portage/app-arch/cpio/cpio-2.8.ebuild) 1184624385: === (1 of 51) Compiling/Merging (app-arch/cpio-2.8::/usr/portage/app-arch/cpio/cpio-2.8.ebuild) 1184624589: Started emerge on: Jul 17, 2007 00:23:09 1184624589: *** emerge --newuse --deep --ask --update --verbose world 1184624628: >>> emerge (1 of 51) app-arch/cpio-2.8 to / 1184624628: === (1 of 51) Cleaning (app-arch/cpio-2.8::/usr/portage/app-arch/cpio/cpio-2.8.ebuild) 1184624629: === (1 of 51) Compiling/Merging (app-arch/cpio-2.8::/usr/portage/app-arch/cpio/cpio-2.8.ebuild) 1184624727: >>> AUTOCLEAN: app-arch/cpio 1184624727: === Unmerging...
