I tried this yesterday with great success. As mentioned in b.g.o. 7.8.2 |
| 23 |
causes slowdowns for many people (including me). |
| 24 |
This system is ~amd64 |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
But this morning after an eix-sync, my normal update failed |

Perhaps I should be downgrading xorg-server as well. |
| 107 |
|
| 108 |
Since I would rather have a slow X than an angry portage, |
| 109 |
I removed the package mask and expected all to be well, but was |
| 110 |
surprised by the following. In particular at the end it says there is |
| 111 |
one block but I don't see any. |
| 112 |
|

Any help/advice would be appreciated. |
