There is no X use flag?
It is really in my /etc/make/conf !

There are use flags added and others are forgotten.
How can i get my X back?

use="X" emerge --newuse --deep --update world ..does not help either

If I recall correctly, this happened to me and I had to re-emerge Cairo because when it was emerged originally, it didn't have the X flag itself. After that everything else was OK

So, emerge -va cairo and make sure that it has X in the USE list.

Cheers

I think i have solved it. The USE flags from make.conf were not used because there was en error (??) in make.conf.
I have put some blank lines in it and now it worls (well.. at least emerge --info shows the X use flag

).
.. tomorrow I will know

Moved from Portage & Programming to Duplicate Threads, refer to topic "Please re-emerge [solved]".

As noted in the handbook USE flags specified via environment variables are not retained as persistent settings so, aside from when a given USE flag setting is itself transient in nature, use one of the persistent USE flag setting methods (/etc/make.conf, /etc/portage/package.use). Also, note that USE flags are case sensitive.
