That means certain packages need special use flags.

You can add these on a package-by-package basis in /etc/portage/package.use so that you don't have to change your make.conf use flags which affect EVERYTHING.

Try this:

Code:
echo "=x11-libs/libdrm-2.4.40 libkms" >> /etc/portage/package.use
echo "=media-libs/mesa-9.0.1 xa" >> /etc/portage/package.use


then try to emerge xorg-server again.

Not necessary - adding those entries from the other reply will work. Just wanted to make sure the rest looked good.

emerge -pv is a "pretend" emerge, it won't actually try to install anything :wink:

That worked. earlier I have written only "xa" and "libkms" to the file. Now I understand it right.

thanks a bunch.
