x11-wm/enlightenment-0.17.5_pre1 just shows a black screen with the old ~/.e directory I have been using with enlightenment-0.17.3. If this directory is removed, enlightenment starts without problems, and works as expected with the newly created ~/.e directory. Removing ~/.e/e/config/standard/e_randr.cfg from the old ~/.e directory does not help. I think it is not bug 483194. That bug happened in my system too when I updated to 0.17.4, even with no prior ~/.e directory. At that time I just masked the 0.17.4 version.
This issue persists with x11-wm/enlightenment-0.17.5_pre2. (Fixing this issue is not very important to me, as I have reconfigured my enlightenment desktop with version 0.17.5_pre1.)
should be fixed with the latest versions in the tree
