Xorgcfg does not run either in textmode or graphical mode. Don't know when it broke, but with current version it does not run. Error I get is: root # xorgcfg -textmode Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libdrm.a Module drm: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 6.8.0, module version = 1.0.0 Unloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libdrm.a Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libint10.a Module int10: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 6.8.0, module version = 1.0.0 Unloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libint10.a Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libfbdevhw.a Module fbdevhw: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 6.8.0, module version = 0.0.2 Unloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libfbdevhw.a Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libcw.a LoadModule: Module cw does not have a cwModuleData data object.

This happens with at least three different computers, each with a different display adapter (two with DRI, one without). Removing the existing /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not help.

Can you test 6.8.1.902 please?
I cannot get 6.8.1.902(-r1) to compile, so the answer is no.
Please file a new bug on that, attaching `emerge info` and a compilation log. If you'd like, post the new bug number here. Thanks.
Silly me, failure to compile was just because I ran out of disk space. Anyway, the original error happens on 6.8.1.902, too. root # xorgcfg -textmode Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libint10.a Module int10: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 6.8.1.902, module version = 1.0.0 Unloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libint10.a Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libfbdevhw.a Module fbdevhw: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 6.8.1.902, module version = 0.0.2 Unloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libfbdevhw.a Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/dri-old.libdrm.a LoadModule: Module dri-old.libdrm does not have a dri-old.libdrmModuleData dataobject.

Try adding an entry for it to xc/programs/Xserver/cfb/cfb{map,unmap}.h. ebuild /path/to/xorg unpack make the edits in /var/tmp ebuild /path/to/xorg install qmerge
Tried that. Now the error message is different. It seems more complete patching is required. As you can see, now it's about cfbCreateDefColormap, not cfbExpandDirectColors anymore.. root # xorgcfg -textmode Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libint10.a Module int10: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 6.8.0, module version = 1.0.0 Unloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libint10.a Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libfbdevhw.a Module fbdevhw: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 6.8.0, module version = 0.0.2 Unloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libfbdevhw.a Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/dri-old.libdrm.a LoadModule: Module dri-old.libdrm does not have a dri-old.libdrmModuleData dataobject.

Wash, rinse, repeat. In other words, keep up the process till it stops.
Washed, rinsed, repeated. Needed to insert cfbExpandDirectColors cfbCreateDefColormap cfbClearVisualTypes cfbSetVisualTypes cfbInitVisuals and now it works. I'll attach a patch soon, could you include it in the ebuilds?
Created attachment 49865 [details, diff] Patch to fix xorgcfg startup error
Excellent. I'll be happy to include this on >=6.8.1.*.
Added to 6.8.1.904. Thanks again.
