Why do you think you need to remerge *anything* that is not a kernel |
| 9 |
module under a new kernel? You must re-merge any proprietary graphics |
| 10 |
drivers that you are using, like nivida-kernel or ati-drivers, or |
| 11 |
other out of tree kernel modules (alsa-drivers, ipwXXXX, and so on), |
| 12 |
but there is no benefit at all to remerging xorg or any other program |
| 13 |
due to a new kernel. |
