Be aware, once you > enabe nptl in glibc, you'll never be able to run a kernel other than 2.6.0. Just so that nobody makes the same mistake as I did (er, one of the same mistakes), I would strongly recommend *not* emerging modutils after you switch to 2.6. The modutils package overwrites your module tools with those that don't work with 2.6 kernels.

Bastille depends on mailx, which in turn depends on a virtual/mta which is bringing in courier (the real deal, not just courier-imap). The courier package blocks with any virtual/imapd, which courier-imap provides. You might check /var/cache/edb/virtuals and find what virtual/mta is pointing at.

I needed to re-emerge nvidia-glx (that's right--nvidia-glx, *not* nvidia-kernel!). mplayer works, wine works, xmms works. Though I'm not overly impressed with wine's performance. It's slower than it was on 2.4 without nptl. Though to be fair it doesn't seem to be wine that's going slow, it's X that's hogging all the resources.
