19 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.
25
26 You should read the modular X migration guide before proceeding
