Seems that speed-dreams will crash if it's built with xrandr and xrandr isn't enabled on the machine. Pass --disable-xrandr to egamesconf. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. disable xrandr on your X server 2. emerge speed-dreams 3. run speed-dreams Actual Results: crash happens right away running in debug mode indicates it got caught up in xrandr code Expected Results: Should have a USE flag for the ebuild to disable xrandr if not desired. I rewrote the ebuild like this so I can install it on my xrandr-disabled machine: http://users.vanade.com/~blc/speed-dreams-1.4.0-r666.ebuild Might be a better way to write this or if there's already an xrandr flag that could be shared with other packages...
xrandr use flag added. Thanks for report
