$equery b libtype1.so
[ Searching for file(s) libtype1.so in *... ]
x11-base/xorg-server-1.4.0.90-r3 (/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/fonts/libtype1.so)
$

So at least with the ~amd64 xorg-server-1.4.0.90-r3, assuming libtype1.so
is the file to which you were referring, it's in xorg-server itself.

hmmm..... this is a little strange.... it seems like my xorg-server hasn't
compiled it but nevertheless tries to load it at startup by default. i need
to investigate a little what's the reason of this.

ps. about the kernel build scripts you said you'd share are there any news?!

There doesn't appear to be a USE flag for it, so it's probably a hard-
wired part of the xorg-server build.  Only for some reason, your build 
for that library failed, and obviously, it's a non-fatal failure.

It's also possible you hit one of the bleeding edges of running a live 
sources ebuild.  Perhaps that's being split off into a separate package, 
but the dependencies aren't there yet, or there's a new USE flag I don't 
see in the 1.4.90-r3 version.

Thanks for the reminder.  I've been putting off upgrading to the latest 
kernel rc until I get the scripts spruced up a bit, after which the 
upgrade run would be the test to make sure that at least for here, I had 
it right.

The problem is that right now, there's some hard-coded paths and the 
like, that I'll need to change, "variablizing" them, with the settings 
preferably moved to a conf file, but at least all moved to the top of the 
scripts, where they're easy to see and set.

Looks like I might get some time 2nite to work on it, as it seems to have 
been a fairly slow newsgroups/mailinglists and news day.

OK, got the scripts cleaned up, nice config file, and tested working 
after my cleanups. =8^)  It's a bit too much to post, so I'll have to 
tarball it, upload it to one of my web-storage spots, and post the URL.  
I've been putting most of the documentation in the config file, and will 
need to update that with a list of all the files (scripts but for the 
config file), what each one does, and where I recommend they go.

However, it's mostly done, now.  Keep bugging me every few days, tho I'm 
heading back into my work week again so I might not get anything more 
done for until next Thursday/Friday or so, depending on how crazy things 
are at work this week.

don't worry. i know how hard is when the work is starting to become more and
more chaotic and to take more and more of your daily time. i'm in a similar
period now and so i don't really have much time to control that. just the
time i took to reply should give a hint about it...
anyway thanks very much for your effort.
