Hi,
If you don't have other hosts making use of u'r font server you
don't need it anyway. It's only a waste of resources. Everything
works just fine without it on a desktop.

Folks:
Just compiled a new kernel - 2.6.13-r3 (was using 2.6.11-r4), and
upgraded kde from 3.3.2 to 3.4. On booting into the new kernel, the
base system boots fine, but kde hangs. It seems from the error that
xfs could not be started. The error when I start xfs manually is:
gentoo# /etc/init.d/xfs start * Scanning font directories ...
[ ok ] * starting X font server ... [ ok ]
start-stop-daemon: stat /usr/X11R6/bin/xfs: No such file or directory
[ !! ]
xfsinfo returns a "no font server defined" message
I tried emerg-ing xfs and got this error:
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "xfs" hav been masked.
I've played with the package.keywords and package.unmask with no
positive result
Note: never had any issue with the previous kernel (2.6.11-r3), Note:
the pc is a Fujitsu Lifebook series laptop Note: which xfs returns
xfs: /usr/include/xfs Any clues to sove this will be very mush
appreciated.
I suspect you're trying to emerge the wrong thing:
You have presumably not been using xfs up to this point (since they're
all masked), so where is the font server coming from:
Must be xorg itself:
emerge -pv xorg-x11
Calculating dependencies ...done!

Build XFS, the X Font Server
I would suggest that you consider re-emerging xorg-x11.
Perhaps the font server needs to be recompiled against the new kernel
libraries, or the init file needs to be updated.
HTH,
