Description Dennis Schridde 2013-12-28 11:39:27 UTC 
It appears that two useflags in dev-libs/efl control the availability of X11 support: X and xcb. media-libs/elementary-1.8.2, however, requires the X useflag in dev-libs/efl if USE=X is set for it.

I.e. currently:
DEPEND=">=dev-libs/efl-1.8.3[sdl?,png,wayland?,X?]"

Suggestion:
DEPEND="
  >=dev-libs/efl-1.8.3[sdl?,png,wayland?]
  X? ( || (
    dev-libs/efl[X]
    dev-libs/efl[xcb]
  ) )
"

As the xcb support in dev-libs/efl is seen as experimental and untested, even upstream suggests to not use it [1].

With this in mind, i wont update the dependency part to use efl[xcb] as an alternative to efl[X].
