I did emerge --update system.

Now x won't start so I can't run Xorg -configure.

The error is

[code]Duplicate symbol __i686.get_pc_thunk.bx in /usr/lib/modules/fonts/libbitmap.a:bitmapmod.o
Also defined in /usr/lib/modules/fonts/libbitmap.a

Fatal Server Error
Module Load Failure[/code]

x86 (athlon XP); kernel 2.6.10; no masked packages used here; ATI RV280 graphics.

It was working perfectly before/

Current version is 6.8.2

old version - not sure, but it could have been a 6.7.0 version.

ok this is solved, the answer was in the forum and more delving found it,

[code]USE="dlloader" emerge xorg-x11[/code]

It is a problem with the xorg dynamic loader which is broken, the dlloader USE flag forces the use of the Gentoo native one.
