X.org 1.7 has been masked, and will be removed from the portage tree in
four weeks. Sure, you can keep the ebuilds in the local overlay, but I
fear this will lead to trouble eventually.

I will do this for a while, too, but one day I will have to deal with
it. This X stuff is really giving me great trouble. Or maybe I will just
give up and get another graphics card, my on-board Radeon HD3200 does
not seem to be supported well. But then, I am having trouble with X
since I am using Linux, there were only few, short periods of time when
X just worked.
