Xorg7 does not work well for me. It freezes every 30 seconds and then resumes working after 10 seconds. I want to downgrade down to 6.9.0. (I was using 6.8.2 before)

When I try to start x I get a bunch of "module not found" errors for things like fglrx, glx, etc. I tried reemerging those packages but it didn't work.

* The x11-base/xorg-x11 package now filters all ModulePath and RgbPath lines from your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, as both of these paths have changed since previous versions. Make sure you run etc-update to finalize these changes. If for some reason they weren't filtered, remove them yourself.

you have to set ModulePath to the previous location, in your xorg.conf
Code:

        RgbPath      "/usr/lib/X11/rgb"
        ModulePath   "/usr/lib/modules"

I had to do that and symlink /usr/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so to the correct location. For some reason it was linking to libglx.a.
