1.1

I now have X on git ebuilds and everything is working fine. So far I
haven't seen any black screens or freezes. The only 2 ebuilds that
fail are x11-libs/cairo-9999 which fails due to autoconf and
eselect-opengl-1.0.6-r2 due to the mirrors which don't have
glext.h-40.bz2

As I said everything is working fine except for those 2 ebuilds, so if
anyone has some hints how I can solve that I'd be happy.
