i've found this as a bug, when running steam/half-life via cedega and encountered these: http://members.inode.at/a.jenisch/steam-half-life.jpg http://members.inode.at/a.jenisch/steam-file-not-found.jpg it's not yet confirmed, but very likely that this is because of outdated emul libs. there were problems with path lengths with older libs and references can be founde here: http://www.t8o.org/~mca1001/fixed/#x11-trans-max http://www.mail-archive.com/devel@xfree86.org/msg01514.html http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=175907 root@eNTi # emerge info Portage 2.0.51.22-r1 (default-linux/amd64/2005.0, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r0, 2.6.12-gentoo-r3 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.12-gentoo-r3 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.12 distcc 2.18.3 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5, 2.4.1-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.10 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.18-r1 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache digest distlocks fixpackages sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.inode.at/ http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/ http://mir.zyrianes.net/gentoo/ ftp://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/ ftp://mir.zyrianes.net/gentoo/ http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/linux/gentoo/ http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo http://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/linux/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 16bit X a52 aalib acpi acpi4linux alsa apache2 audiofile bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 bzlib c++ cdb cdda cddb cdinstall cdparanoia chroot crypt ctype cups curl dga dio dts dvb dvd dvdr dvdread emul-linux encode ethereal fam flac font-server foomaticdb freetype ftp gdbm gif gkrellm gmp gphoto2 gpm gtk gtk2 icq imagemagick imlib imlib2 ipv6 java javascript jikes jp2 jpeg junit lesstif libmikmod libwww lua lzw lzw-tiff mad maildir matroska mcal mikmod motif moznocompose moznoirc moznomail mp3 mpeg mplayer ncurses net nethack nls nptl nvidia offensive ogg oggvorbis openal opengl pam pdflib perl png ppds print procmail python qt readline real samba sdl ssl svg sysvipc tcltk tcpd tetex tga threads tiff timidity transcode truetype truetype-fonts type1 type1-fonts usb userlocales utf8 v4l v4l2 videos vim vim-with-x vorbis xchatdccserver xine xml2 xmms xosd xpm xrandr xv xvid zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS
The urls you have referenced here seem to be regarding libX11 from <=xfree-4.2.1. Currently emul-linux-x86-xlibs-2.1 contains libs from xorg-x11-6.8.2 (i.e current stable portage version) so I fail to see how this could be your problem.
