Hi. I have hit an annoying bug in xorg-server-1.7.1 and the latest nvidia-drivers, where I am experiencing random crashes. I have looked around and apparently for now the workaround is to downgrade both xorg-server and the nvidia-drivers. However, my attempts to compile xorg-server-1.6.5 end with a compile failure (attached) Hope this is an actual bug and not a waste of your time :S Thanks in advance :) Reproducible: Always My emerge --info Portage 2.2_rc48 (default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop, gcc-4.4.2, glibc-2.11-r0, 2.6.31-zen5 x86_64) ================================================================= System Settings ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.31-zen5-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_Duo_CPU_T6400_@_2.00GHz-with-gentoo-2.0.1 Timestamp of tree: Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:00:01 +0000 distcc 3.1 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu [disabled] ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 4.0_p35 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.9-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.6.4 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r8 dev-util/cmake: 2.6.4-r3 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.1 sys-apps/openrc: 0.5.2-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2, 1.11 sys-devel/binutils: 2.20 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6a virtual/os-headers: 2.6.30-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" 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/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/language.dat.d /etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="assume-digests ccache distlocks fixpackages news parallel-fetch preserve-libs protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.jamit.de/gentoo/ ftp://mirror.switch.ch/mirror/gentoo/" LANG="en_GB.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="en_GB it" 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/mpd /usr/local/portage/layman/sping /usr/local/portage/layman/desktop-effects /usr/local/portage/layman/zen-sources /usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac acl acpi alsa amd64 amr apm avi bash-completion berkdb bluetooth branding bzip2 cairo caps cdaudio cddb cdr ch chm cli consolekit cracklib crypt css cups dbus dhcp dri dts dv dvb dvd dvdr dvdread editor emboss emovix encode evo fam fame fbcondecor ffmpeg firefox flac foomaticdb fortran gcj gd gdbm gif git glitz glx gphoto2 gpm gstreamer hal iconv id3tag ieee1394 imagemagick inotify ipod ipv6 it jack java java6 joystick jpeg kde kickoff ladspa ldap libnotify libsamplerate lm_sensors mad mbrola mikmod mmx modules mp2 mp3 mp4 mpeg msn mudflap multilib musicbrainz ncurses networkmanager nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin nvidia ogg opengl openmp pam pcre pdf perl pmu png policykit ppds pppd python qt qt3support qt4 quicktime readline reflection rtc samba scanner sdl semantic-desktop session skype slp smp snmp spell spl sse sse2 ssl ssse3 startup-notification subtitles subversion svg sysfs tcpd theora threads tiff truetype twolame unicode usb v4l v4l2 vorbis wifi x264 xcb xcomposite xine xml xorg xulrunner xv xvid 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 synaptics alps mouse evdev joystick" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en_GB it" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS

Well, upgrade to 1.7 pulled a lot libs and headers incompatible with 1.6, so yes, it's probably INVALID.
After some serious tinkering I have managed to downgrade all necessary packages and xorg-server has compiled successfully. I had never realized how painful a modular downgrade can be :P
