Howdy, I recently did my weekly updates. It wanted nvidia-drivers to have the static-libs USE flag enabled so I did it. Then the video card wouldn't work when I logged out and back in because of a mismatch somewhere so I disabled static-libs and emerged it again. That fixed the problem of no GUI. Now I'm trying to finish the upgrade and get a clean output. However, it seems a package, vtk and/or opencascade, demands the static-libs USE flag for nvidia-drivers which would again break the display the next time I logout and back in. So, no matter what it wants, it can not have it. The drivers do me no good if the result leaves me without a GUI. This is the best output with details I can get. I've tried removing packages, doing it in smaller parts but either way, it ends up with this:

your config files? [Yes/No] I'm not sure if the boost output is related or not. I did read somewhere that opencascade is replacing oce. From the above, I suspect vtk and/or opencascade is causing this. That may be related but dang if I can figure out a way around this. Anyone else run into this and find a fix or see something I'm missing? Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
