I'm running a 1.6 X-Server with DRI2 and UXA on a intel chip. So I guess it'll be hard to reproduce the bug. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -u world 2. reboot 3. open terminal Actual Results: green squares instead of letters appear, backspace doesn't "clean" the screen masking mesa-7.3-r1 and downgrading to mesa-7.3 fixes the problems
I guess you use xorg-server-1.6 from the x11-overlay? Please add such information when the package doesn't come from the official portage-tree. Please post your "emerge --info" as well as the output of emerge -qpv xorg-server and attach your xorg.conf file. Re-open this bug when you provide the requested information.

Yes, I'm using the x11-overlay. Sorry about that, forgot to mention it. emerge --info: Portage 2.2_rc25 (default/linux/amd64/2008.0, gcc-4.3.3, glibc-2.9_p20081201-r2, 2.6.29-rc7-git1 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.29-rc7-git1-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_Duo_CPU_T7300_@_2.00GHz-with-glibc2.2.5 Timestamp of tree: Thu, 12 Mar 2009 17:45:02 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.0_p10 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.7 dev-lang/python: 2.5.4-r2 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.0 sys-apps/openrc: 0.4.3-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.6 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.19.1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6a virtual/os-headers: 2.6.28-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=core2 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=core2 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks fixpackages metadata-transfer parallel-fetch preserve-libs protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/download/gentoo-mirror/ " LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="de" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage/layman/x11" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X aac acl acpi alsa amd64 berkdb bzip2 cdr cli cracklib crypt cups dbus dri dri2 dvd emerald ffmpeg firefox flash freetype gdbm gif glitz gpm gtk hal iconv ipv6 isdnlog java jpeg lm_sensors madwifi midi mmx mp3 mudflap multilib ncurses nls nptlonly opengl openmp pam pcre perl png pppd python readline reflection sdl session spl sse sse2 ssl svg sysfs tcpd unicode usb wxwindows xcb xcomposite xorg xscreensaver zlib" ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse synaptics evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="de" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="intel vesa" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS emerge -qpv xorg-server: * Overlay eclasses override eclasses from PORTDIR: * * '/usr/local/portage/layman/x11/eclass/git.eclass' * '/usr/local/portage/layman/x11/eclass/x-modular.eclass' * * It is best to avoid overriding eclasses from PORTDIR because it will * trigger invalidation of cached ebuild metadata that is distributed with * the portage tree.
