1 Hi,
2
3 before getting into too much trouble better I aask:
4 While updateing I got the following message:
5
6 ('ebuild', '/', 'x11-base/xorg-server-1.8.0', 'merge') conflicts with
7 <x11-base/xorg-server-1.7.99 required by ('installed', '/', 'x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-195.36.15', 'nomerge')
8
9
10 !!! The following update(s) have been skipped due to unsatisfied dependencies
11 !!! triggered by backtracking:
12 x11-apps/xinit:0
13
14
15 The first one I understand what I wants to say, but: Is the conflict
16 based on the limition of the nvidia-driver not to run with
17 xorg-server-1.8.0 even when recompiled after the new xorg-server
18 is reinstalled or does the latter help to circumvent the problem?
19
20 What the second message wants to tell me is far beyond my knowledge ... :)
21
22 Thank you very much for your help in advance!
23 Best regards,
24 mcc
