(Top posting corrected)
cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf xorg.conf.orig <---- just in case etc-update
whacks it
emerge -vp =x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r3 <--- always pretend 1st!
Then, the real emerge will merge -r3 and unmerge -r4. Lastly, you may wish
to mask -r4 or your next "emerge world" will bring it back. But, then,
that's why I never give that command indiscriminately. Of course, if you do
mask it, I don't know if you'll ever learn there's a new one!! YMMV - if
you break it, you own it, as Colin Powell said - so if you end up with Iraq,
well -- the joys of Gentoo.
