7 The [m] means that you masked newer versions of xorg-server locally.
8 If you remove that local mask, the blockers should be gone.
9 Do you have a reason to keep this mask?
10 If you must keep it, you will have to mask a lot of other packages, too,
11 since they "want" to be upgraded but cannot, because they do not work
12 with that ancient xorg-server.
