That's probably the most sane approach, unless you want to remove the blocker from the ebuild and try the new XOrg with Nvidia. Masking ">=xorg-server-1.4" is not a good idea, because then you'll miss the removal of the blocker, when Nvidia release new drivers. > This seems inelegant.

A blocker isn't really the right way to do this, that is meant to be used when two packages install the same file(s). This is in incompatibility between versions, but portage doesn't have a way of saying "don't try to install foo-1.4 if bar-2.7 is installed". -- Neil Bothwick Windows will never cease.
