I am trying to update a laptop after a break of a few months and have
an ... anomaly!
It suddenly wants the kdrive use flag enabled for xorg-server and
sabayon - why? I think kdrive is a minimal xserver built on top of xorg
so its not appropriate for a system I want full functionality on - is
it?
How can I find out whats bringing this use flag in as I cant find
anything so far.

euse -I kdrive
will show which packages on your system are using this flag.

Its not what packages use it - but what packages are causing it to be
needed that I want:
>From the new sabayon ebuild stabilized for gnome 2.28 it seems to
require xorg-server to be built with kdrive. So even though this system
is using stable gnome, the newer sabayon now requires it ...
COMMON_DEPEND=">=dev-lang/python-2.4
>=x11-libs/gtk+-2.6.0
>=dev-python/pygtk-2.5.3
>=dev-python/pygobject-2.15
x11-libs/pango
dev-python/python-ldap
x11-base/xorg-server[kdrive]"
It appears its set by autounmask for gnome-2.28.2 on my other systems so
guess its a requirement these days ... guess I'll unmask the newer gnome
here as well - seems to work ok.

see.

Xephyr is a driver installed by xorg-server-1.8 on my ~amd64 machine, but
not on my x86 machine with xorg-server-1.7.6. Which version are you trying
to install?

The method most often suggested is adding the 't' flag to your emerge:
#emerge -auNDt world

-t doesnt work in this case as emerge wants xorg-server built with the
kdrive flag before it will continue processing - which makes sense.

AFAICT, the cost of enabling kdrive is trivial. It compiles one more
"server" /usr/bin/Xephyr, so I'd say just enable kdrive and go for it!

Thanks Walt, thats interesting that gnome-2.28 includes Xephyr via
kdrive - bonus :)
The system was moved to gnome-2.28 and updated/upgraded overnight and I
just have half a dozen pkgs to sort out - after trying 217!) and its
done.
