5 Since when has that been the case? AIUI X11 modules live 100% in userspace,
6 the kernel component is its own thing (unless you use nvidia, I suppose).
7 @x11-modules-rebuild is for xorg-server upgrades, and even then, strictly
8 speaking only when there is an ABI change (see the first of your links).

10 But even so, the way Xorg stabilisations are handled in Gentoo (i.e.,
11 everything is stabilised simultaneously) you shouldn't really need it in the
12 first place; at least, I can't remember the last time I needed to use it.
