I am currently trying to solve the same problem. This is an xorg issue, not a fluxbox one---X craps out way before fluxbox has a chance to start, and it craps out because of a problem in /usr/lib/modules/fonts/libbitmap.a which is owned by the xorg package.

This may solve it, but I do not think this is a very good solution, since you will wind up
with a statically linked X server---the executable, I imagine would be huge, as well as the performance loss.
Perhaps here is a solution:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-408352-highlight-libbitmap+bitmapmod+o.html
using the "dlloader" flag, not the "static" flag

Cool thanx man, worked like a charm. No slow down at all.. this will give me time to find out why and re-emerge it so it isn't a static install.
Thanx again

The solution in the link above works better:
| Code: | | USE="dlloader" emerge xorg-x11 |
Thanx again.  |
