Created attachment 333822 [details] build log I am guessing there should be restrictions on the driver versions in the x11-base/xorg-server ebuilds that aren't there. # emerge xf86-video-intel (note I am blocking x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.20.13 due to problems with it) Output attached
Does the problem remain if you build xf86-video-intel with USE="sna -uxa"?
(In reply to comment #1) > Does the problem remain if you build xf86-video-intel with USE="sna -uxa"? Not possible (the uxa USE flag only exists in the xf86-video-intel-2.20.13, xf86-video-intel-2.20.15, and xf86-video-intel-2.20.16 ebuilds).
1) you're mixing a stable xf86-video-intel with an unstable xorg-server. While it usually works, the various internal APIs of the X server have changed and this combination cannot work. Either downgrade your X server, or use a newer intel driver. 2) If you have issues with the intel driver, please try newer versions and report bugs instead of downgrading. Thanks

Either downgrade your X server, or > use a newer intel driver. No, I am not. Current STABLE versions of xorg-server include ALL of 1.12.2, 1.12.4, 1.13.0-r1, and 1.13.1. Current stable versions of xf86-video-intel include 2.19.0 and 2.20.13. > 2) If you have issues with the intel driver, please try newer versions and > report bugs instead of downgrading. xf86-video-intel-2.20.13 is completely unusable (see bug 447306), so the only stable version that works is 2.19.0. If there are API incompatibilities due to changes in xorg-server, the versions of video drives that work with a particular version of xorg-server should be restricted in the ebuild.

Gentoo lacks the proper tools to do that, so right now it's just us telling you this combination is not supported and we will not patch either ebuild for this to work as there's way too much work involved. Please do try the xf86-video-intel 2.20.16 (or even .17 within the coming days). It's the only way we can be of assistance. Thank you
