When I emerge xorg it breaks on my G5. I made sure the box was fully updated before emerging. This is the only "stable" ebuild for ppc64 and it doesn't work! Doh! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Type emerge xorg-x11 2. Wait ages... 3. It breaks!

Can you try 6.8.0-r4 or greater please? They've got a fix that doesn't exist in -r3.
I have, it works... this build needs marking ~ppc64 though at least :)
damn.. this should have been fixed in bug #66223. I'll check what I can do.
here is my plan: leave 6.7.0-r3 as it is and mark 6.8.2 stable as soon as it is tested enough. Markus
xorg-x11-6.8.2 is now stable on ppc64! this should work like a charm!
