In alt.os.linux.gentoo, Jean Magnan de Bornier uttered the immortal words:

freetype-2.1.9-r1 isn't showing as stable yet. Based on the output above you
appear to be running a testing system. I don't so can't help there.

=== 2005-01-21 17:02 ==== opengl-update-2.0_pre4-r1 ===
= /var/log/portlog/2858-opengl-update-2.0_pre4-r1.log =
....
* This version will only work with >=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4.
* Upgrade before running opengl-update.

As you can see, you need to be running at least xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4 but if
you /are/ running a testing system then why hasn't xorg been upgraded
(6.8.1.902 appears to be the latest testing version)?
