Well, I unmerged xfree and did an emerge -p xorg-x11 and I noticed a couple of disturbing things. First of all, xft is determined as a blocker (I have truetype in my use flags). Even worse, xfree was identified as a dependency, as well as xterm. What's going on here? How should I continue?

You can always try to inject xfree to reduce dependencies problems, but that won't solve any blocks that xfree might cause.

And why do you have xft installed in the first place? xfree/xorg should handle that by itself.

Unmerging xft solved problem #1, but injecting xfree makes it show up as a blocker.

Have a look at the ebuild (/usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-x11/xorg-x11-6.7.0.ebuild, unless there's something more recent) and you'll notice this is still VERY new. So it should come as no surprise it does not works perfectly yet.
Anyway, there is some mismatching here.. because the ebuild lists in their dependency section:
Code:

DEPEND=">=sys-apps/baselayout-1.8.3
        >=sys-libs/ncurses-5.1
        >=sys-libs/zlib-1.1.3-r2
        >=sys-devel/flex-2.5.4a-r5
        >=dev-libs/expat-1.95.3
        >=media-libs/freetype-2.1.4
        >=media-libs/fontconfig-2.1-r1
        >=x11-base/opengl-update-1.4
        >=x11-misc/ttmkfdir-3.0.4
        >=sys-apps/sed-4
        sys-apps/util-linux
        dev-lang/perl
        media-libs/libpng
        >=sys-apps/portage-2.0.50_pre9
        !virtual/xft
        !virtual/x11"
# x11-libs/xft -- blocked because of interference with xorg's

As you can see, xft is provided already.
You shouldn't have problems installing the dependencies of xorg-x11... I mean.. what dependency of the x-server could have the x-server as dependancy? That's a circular dependency issue O.o
I think you'll have to take a closer look at what's going on... no dependency of an x server should ask for an x-server itself...

emerge -C xfree again, and post the output of emerge -p xorg-x11

It might be something in your virtuals file that is blocking.

But that's the problem xfree is listed I'm looking at it right now! (x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r5)
Should I compile all of the deps individually and compile xorg with --nodeps?

xorg-6.7.0
xfree-4.3.0-r5
utempter-0.5.3.2-r1
xterm-184
sorry I couldn't get a copy and paste.

If xfree is listed in the virtuals file (/var/cache/edb/virtuals), then you need to replace the lines where it's listed with xorg-x11 instead. emerging xorg should to that itself, but since xfree seems to block the install of xorg you have to edit it manually.

Well, the virtuals file doesn't mention xfree at all, but I'll try to add a xorg line...

FIXED! merging right now.
I added these two lines to the virtuals file
Code:
virtuals/x11 x11-base/xorg-x11
virtuals/xft x11-base/xorg-x11

Thanks for pointing me to this file!

Oh great. But you'll probably need to inject xfree later on anyways until other dependencies problems have been fixed. I've been reading on the forums about some ebuilds that ignore the virtuals file and tries to install xfree anyway.

*gasps* in portage?
Yes, the first thing I did was inject xfree (that's what made the blockers). Thanks for your help anyway.

As said before, xorg forked off XFree86 4.4-RC2, so both ATI and nVidia drivers work with it.

I'm running xorg right now. All I did was:

1) emerge --unmerge xfree
2) ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge xorg-x11
3) etc-update
4) mv /etc/X11/XF86Config /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Everything works perfectly.

I checked my virtuals file and the lines listed above are already present (the xorg ebuild must have inserted them). However, some packages still want to install xfree so I had to manually inject it:

emerge -i x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r5

I'm about to do an emerge --update world so I'll see how that goes.

But does portage recognizes that we don't need xfree as a dependency?

Most of the time. Read what I wrote in a post above. The portage tree will surely be free of those kinds of errors as xorg gets more and more used.

I you're running a stable system, adding this line to /etc/portage/package.keywords *might* solve some of the dependencies problems (maybe portage sees xorg as masked and tries to downgrade somehow to xfree).

I'm glad that so many people are having luck building and installing xorg-x11, but a little confused as to why I'm having so much trouble, as listed in this thread.

Thoughts?

I solved the same issue doing this simple step:

Code:
#emerge -O xft


This way you don't need to inject xfree.

Inject xfree isn't a real solution for me, because when you try emerge xft it show xorg-x11 as blocker and xfree as dependancy.

I guess it's just a matter of time to developers adjust the ebuilds dependencies now that everybody is migrating to xorg.

This solution isn't mine, i just found this in another thread.

cheers

there is no need to inject xfree, nor is there a need to edit
your virtuals
after emerging xorg-x11, just do
Code:

emerge -uD world

and portage will take care of the rest for you
