Check further down the output and you'll see portage wants to update xorg to 6.9 as well, either because some package explicitly depended on xorg-6.x or because that is what currently satisfies virtual/x11. Unmerge xorg-x11, then run emerge -u world again. If it still shows these blockers, add --tree to see what is trying to pull in 6.x. BTW, use qukickpkg to build a binary package of xorg-x11 if you don't already have one. That way you can get X back quickly if something goes wrong. -- Neil Bothwick When there's a will, I want to be in it.
