media-libs/mesa and x11-apps/mesa-progs somehow ignore nptl USE flag. It seems they force -ntpl although +nptl is in my make.conf and from there xorg-server picked up +nptl when compiled. Overriding the -nptl in package.use file for media-libs/mesa does not work, so media-libs/mesa nad x11-apps/mesa-progs still use -nptl. So, mesa cannot be re-installed because the ebuild chokes that mesa and xorg-server were compiled with different nptl flags. The solution for me was to force -nptl in package.use for xorg-server "x11-base/xorg-server -nptl" and the recompiling mesa and mesa-progs. I have downgraded to xorg-server-1.3 series now, so do not get fooled by the upgrades below. But I hope you make something out of the use flags kicking in. And take into account I have force the -nptl for xorg-server through package.use file. # emerge -pv mesa mesa-progs xorg-server These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!
