Emerge xorg-server-1.14.1.901 fails with USE="-udev" because of the following error: common/.libs/libcommon.a(xf86Events.o): In function `xf86Wakeup': xf86Events.c:(.text+0xf14): undefined reference to `xf86platformVTProbe' The problem is desrcibed in the following link: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.freedesktop.xorg.devel/35490 Basically, xf86platformVTProbe() should not be called unless it is defined and apparently it is *not* defined with USE="-udev". The link provides a patch to fix this problem on non-udev systems but this patch has not been applied to the xorg-server-1.14.1.901 source package that is used by Gentoo. The patch described in the link should be included in the portage tree and ebuild.

If you want this fixed in next 1.14 release, then add it to the nominations in the X.org wiki: http://www.x.org/wiki/Server14Branch
Please disregard comment 2, there is no nomination page for xorg-server-1.14 branch.
@Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn: Why don't you just commit this patch to portage? Its so damn simple fix yet its been two weeks and still there's no fix in portage.
It will be fixed in 1.14.2 which is due for release tomorrow or so.
Fixed in 1.14.2
