4 Because portage treats the default virtual differently than I was
5 previously led to believe, everybody who's ported a package to modular X
6 so far will need to make a small change.

8 It's really easy, but it might take a bit of time to go through your
9 packages.

11 Here's the change:
12 "virtual/x11" -> "<=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.99"
13
14 This is because portage doesn't do a sanity check for the PROVIDES flag
15 on the default provider of a virtual.

17 Thanks for your time,
