Hi, |

I had manually built (via my own local overlay) more recent versions of |
| 4 |
large chunks of X to get around some slugish performance on my Intel |
| 5 |
based setup. However I noticed by xf86-video-intel driver got |
| 6 |
downgraded today due to an updated package.mask with the message: |

# packages currently in the x11 overlay which will soon be moved to portage |
| 10 |
# see bug #260582 for xorg-server 1.6.1 issues |
| 11 |
# see bug #174434 for xcb-related issues (not all are blocker) |
| 12 |
|

Which is great but what do I do in the meantime? |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I thought I may as well try the x11 overlay so added it to layman but |
| 16 |
obviously the package mask is still in effect. I assume the manually |
| 17 |
editing /usr/portage/profile/package.mask will cause problems when the |
| 18 |
package.mask is updated. I can see the overlay has it's own profile |
| 19 |
stuff that prevents dev builds (99999) being built accidentally but |
| 20 |
nothing that overides the profile mask settings. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Basically I'm a little lost on how to run recent X11 (myself or via |
| 23 |
the x11 overlay) the "correct" way until the packages finally make it |
| 24 |
into the portage tree. |
