So I have 'x11-misc/lightdm' version 1.24.0 installed, and configured to start automatically, which it does.

OK, thanks Oleg, works now after 'ego sync'. I see your commit: https://github.com/funtoo/kit-fixups/commit/94e0ae64d79efd6ca03a849fe0426c53d37c57d1#diff-54f4a5f008b420d3daba1a5dbd40408a I take it that file 'funtoo-cautionary' is something like a patch file for the original 'package.mask' from Gentoo, and the minus sign means that that default Gentoo mask entry is getting removed? Thanks, Marat

You can see the full output of my 'emerge xorg-x11' command, which is what emitted that unmask message for me, in my first post above. I did not use any additional command line arguments for that command. Would you like me to run it again with '-v' or anything else?

Hmmm, I just ran this command, but it did not produce any output, as I do not have the token 'xorg-server' in any file under my '/etc/portage'... And if I just do 'grep -r xorg /etc/portage', I only get: /etc/portage/make.profile/parent:xorg-kit:funtoo/kits/python-kit/3.4-prime Thanks, Marat

OK, I was able to post my post now, thanks a lot Daniel.

I'm following the instructions at https://www.funtoo.org/X_Window_System When I try to 'emerge xorg-x11', I get the following Portage output: Calculating dependencies... done!

They remain in tree only for old nvidia-drivers 96 and 173. =x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.17 NOTE: The --autounmask-keep-masks option will prevent emerge from creating package.unmask or ** keyword changes. Use --autounmask-write to write changes to config files (honoring CONFIG_PROTECT). Carefully examine the list of proposed changes, paying special attention to mask or keyword changes that may expose experimental or unstable packages. It appears that 'xorg-drivers-1.17' has been masked from the Gentoo side due to bugs in versions 1.12 and 1.15, but has been kept in the repo for compatibility with the Nvidia drivers. But I'm not running Nvidia drivers, even have 'VIDEO_CARDS="intel"' specified in my 'make.conf',' and the version being emerged is 1.17. If I understand the output correctly the problematic package is being pulled in by 'x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.9.2::xorg-kit', but it has no USE flag to turn off Nvidia support. Is this package just masked in error by Gentoo since it is not version 1.12 or 1.15, and safe to unmask? Or should I do something else like switch to a different branch in 'xorg-kit'?

I tried to post into the Portage Help forum the output of an 'emerge' that contains a Gentoo contributor's email next to a package they masked, but when I clicked 'Submit Topic' I got the error "*** Forbidden. Contains contacts. Message seems to be spam. ***" I think this is due to the new spam prevention technology discussed here --

I was able to emerge chromium successfully with gcc 5.4.0 Thank you everybody!

Ah, so I only need gcc version 5.4.0 not > 5.4.0 And so the 5.4.0 is currently not masked? I think I'll eselect 5.4 and try it again. Thanks!

OK, not "not supported", just requires unmasking. I looked at the replies more closely, and see that bug https://bugs.funtoo.org/browse/FL-4235 was filed on this issue, and gcc 5.4 which can compile that version of chromium can now be selected with 'eselect' without having to unmask it.

OK, understand that the latest chromium package is not compiling because the latest supported version of gcc does not support compiling it. But then, if that chromium package cannot be compiled, why is it not masked so that the previous version that could be compiled would be used instead? Is it not masked for the users that use clang instead of gcc? I assume there is no way to select which compiler to use on a per-package basis? Thanks, Marat

adjust UI shades and colors accordingly, but the associated code may not compile across some configurations. I do not believe there is a way to deactivate this feature with USE flags. Any suggestions? Any additional info I could provide? Thanks folks!
