Tsunam, please fix [e-mail] in metadata.xml to match nesl247's bugzilla address (for bug assigning purposes).

I solved masking 
=x11-proto/randrproto-1.2.0
=x11-libs/libXrandr-1.2.1

Same problem.
Proposed solution works fine for me.
Otherwise, disabling composite-extension in xorg.conf we don't need downgrade, beryl still don't work anyway.

The correct solution seems to be rebuilding xorg-server as shown in http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=174959#c7
This fixed it for me as well.
