I am using x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.1.901, but I have run into two problems. The first problem is that I am unable to switch to VT's. The closest thing people could point me at was the DontVTSwitch option in ServerFlags, however the default is off. I Added it anyway, as off, and xorg refuses to start with that option. The second problem is that when stopping gdm (xdm), my system hangs. I remerged gdm, and that did not solve the problem. These two issues combined means once I've started gdm (xdm), I have no way to get to VT's.

Cool. Let's get some useful info up here, like /var/log/xorg.0.log and xorg.conf. Does this work fine with 6.8.0-r4? xdm.log might be handy too, as well as the output of dmesg.
Sure, logs incoming. Not really sure how to get useful logs when my system hangs due to xdm/gdm however. Conf file also incoming. I wasn't aware -r4 was in portage, I will give it a shot and report later tonight.
Created attachment 47786 [details] Xorg.0.log , while xorg is running
Created attachment 47787 [details] Xorg config I have a symlink, /etc/X11/XF86Config , pointing at this file. Left over from when i was swapping video cards and configs (long ago).
I looked for {xdm,gdm}.log and do not have said file. There were however a series of log files under /var/log/gdm/, the only errors in any of them are this about two times each: (EE) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap Perhaps this has something to do with it? Not familiar with XKB myself.
Hm. I won't be testing -r4, fails to build here. Sorry.
What's the build error?

Is that reproduceable at the exact same place?
Odd, it isn't. This time around I got: * 6200_all_6.8.0-fix-glxquerycontextinfo-libgl-segfault.patch ... * Failed Patch: 6200_all_6.8.0-fix-glxquerycontextinfo-libgl-segfault.patch! * * Include in your bugreport the contents of: * * /var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4/temp/6200_all_6.8.0-fix-glxquerycontextinfo-libgl-segfault.patch-25249.out Attaching that file.

Your CFLAGS are wack. Tone 'em down, rebuild sys-devel/patch and xorg-x11.
Okay, did CFLAGS="-O2" emerge patch =x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4 , and how it's failed in a different part of xorg: make[4]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4/work/xc/doc/man/GLU' rm -f gluBeginCurve.man ln -s begincurve.3gl gluBeginCurve.man rm -f gluBeginPolygon.man ln -s beginpolygon.3gl gluBeginPolygon.man rm -f gluBeginSurface.man ln -s beginsurface.3gl gluBeginSurface.man rm -f gluBeginTrim.man ln -s begintrim.3gl gluBeginTrim.man rm -f gluBuild1DMipmaps.man ln -s build1dmipmaps.3gl gluBuild1DMipmaps.man rm -f gluBuild2DMipmaps.man ln -s build2dmipmaps.3gl gluBuild2DMipmaps.man rm -f gluCylinder.man ln -s cylinder.3gl gluCylinder.man make[4]: *** [gluCylinder.man] Segmentation fault make[4]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4/work/xc/doc/man/GLU' make[3]: *** [includes] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4/work/xc/doc/man' make[2]: *** [includes] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4/work/xc/doc' make[1]: *** [includes] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4/work/xc' make: *** [World] Error 2 *sigh* what's going on here? Thanks for your help.
What's going on is one or both of: (a) Your CFLAGS are over-optimizing some CFLAGS-sensitive package and breaking it; (b) You have bad hardware. You might have more luck if you recompiled "system" with sane CFLAGS, even if you feel the need to use your current combination for other things. One example of "sane": CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -fstack-protector -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe"
Welp I left the agressive CFLAGS on, however dropped back to kernel 2.6.7-grsec from 2.6.10-grsec. I had a lot of other whacky compilation problems, and realized none of them happened before that switch. I was able to compile -r4 this way, I'll be testing later.
Okay Donnie, I am able to switch VT's in -r4. I did not change my config. I did howerver drop back from kernel 2.6.10-grsec-20050107 to 2.6.7-grsec , I'm not really sure if it could be something between kernel 2.6.7 / 2.6.10 and/or grsecurity. I have too many problems with 2.6.10-grblahblah at this time for me to consider testing, however.
Please reopen if this comes up again.
