I did emerge -auDN @world and I got a list of new packages to be installed and others to be reinstalled. I saw that xorg-server should be updated, bringing some other dependecies with it. After the world update I did reboot my notebook. On the initiation of OpenRC I realized that the letters on the screen did not become small (as it usually does) and when I tried startx I got: I suspect about flags of xorg-server and flags of its dependencies, but I'm not sure about that. Can anybody help me with this issue?

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!

<mattst88@gentoo.org> (21 Oct 2017) # The 1.12 and 1.15 branches are no longer supported and remain vulnerable to # various CVEs (CVE-2013-6424, bug #493294 and CVE-2017-2624 bug #611350 just # to name a few). 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 recently installed funtoo, and I'm having trouble emerging gnome-shell. It brings dev-lang/spidermonkey-24.2.0, and polkit requires version 1.8.5. When I try to install version 24, everything compiles successfully, but it tries to overwrite the config files for the old version. If I unmerge version 1.8, it will let me install version 24, but it complains about polkit missing it's dependency after any portage command is run. When I try to emerge gnome-shell with spidermonkey-24, everything works untill dev-libs/gjs is pulled in, which fails to compile (probably because I'm missing polkit). Is there any way around this?
