Hi, I think is better unmerge =x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 and if you need emerge a new packages because I see you trying to do an upgrade of your system.. I wonder what you think about emerge xorg-x11-7-1?... Theese are my comments to help you, I hope so. On 3/13/07, de Almeida, Valmor F.

You do need to unmerge it before emerging the modular Xorg, but I'd recommend packaging it up with quickpkg first. Otherwise, if the X upgrade fails for whatever reason, you could be faced with a lengthy recompile before getting X back. Running quickpkg means you can re-emerge the old version with --usepkg.

Any inputs as far as what flags to change? Well we'd assume because you asked that you don't know what you're doing, so I wouldn't use it. ;-) In general USE flags are highly individualistic, and just because I use a given set of USE flags for a package, they might not apply to you. My advice is to get a general idea of what the USE flags are for and determine for yourself if/when they need changing. If you have no particular reason for changing them why not take the defaults. They're usually reasonable/safe and you can always change them later. Also is gcc-4.1 in a pretty good shape to use? It's been marked stable on most platforms, so I would guess that there is a general understanding that it is ok. As always YMMV. You may want to check bugzilla. -- Albert W.
