Here's what you can do: Clone it somewhere and run the bisect commands in the clone (git clone /usr/portage/distfiles/git-src/glproto) to get which commit IDs you should use. When you get an ID, pass it into emerge with EGIT_TREE=$ID emerge glproto. Test. Wash, rinse, repeat. Jure,

Yes, mesa and xf86driproto are the two. xf86driproto just needs to get released, and mesa needs a fair amount of work on the 7.0 branch.

There is libpciaccess-0.10 which was released some time ago but there is only a git ebuild in the overlay. xf86driproto has not had a checkin for 3 months, so a snapshot might do. So it seems that only mesa remains, in case mesa-7.0.3_rc2 does not work. > They’ll remain in the x11 overlay until they build against

Which are these? There is libpciaccess-0.10 which was released some time ago but there is only a git ebuild in the overlay. xf86driproto has not had a checkin for 3 months, so a snapshot might do.
So it seems that only mesa remains, in case mesa-7.0.3_rc2 does not work.
