there are indeed problems w/ X, especially iconv() and locale support missing from uclibc produce many of the problems. Also some math funcs are missing. It is not decided yet, how to handle iconv(), there are 3 ways: a. use uclibc's version (maybe for USE=X) b. use libiconv c. use dummy replacement as in a glib patch (this does not allow real locale support) the same for gettext: d. use uclibc's version (USE=nls) e. use gettext. Currently I am using c. and am investigating a. I have gotten working a working xorg-x11 though, using xfce4, but all the needed stuff won't build as of current portage tree. Peter -- Peter S.
