The blocker is <=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9, which includes your current |
20 |
version. You do need to unmerge it before emerging the modular Xorg, but |
21 |
I'd recommend packaging it up with quickpkg first. Otherwise, if the X |
22 |
upgrade fails for whatever reason, you could be faced with a lengthy |
23 |
recompile before getting X back. Running quickpkg means you can re-emerge |
24 |
the old version with --usepkg. |

|
26 |
You should read the modular X migration guide before proceeding |
