when I have tried to update the world I faced
Code: | [blocks B ] >=x11-base/xorg-server-1.0.99 (is blocking media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.8762)

however I haven't got xorg-server-1.0.99 as it can be seen portage is trying to update version 1.0.2-r4 I thought may be installed nvidia-glx was causing the problem unmerging it did not solved anything,

afaik, nvidia drivers are still not compatible with xorg 7.1 which xorg-server-1.1.0 is part of
if you want xorg 7.1 you should uninstall the nvidia driver and use the nv open source driver |

nvidia has hw accelerated 3d support but is propietary while nv has not 3d and is open source...
if you don't need 3d nv will work fine |

Not to mention that 2D is also much faster with binary drivers, and don't even think about using XCOMPOSITE or XGL on the open-source driver... _________________ Registered Linux User #263260 |

This is a bit strange - even though I've uninstalled nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel, removed nvidia from my USE flags, and changed VIDEO_CARDS to nv instead of nvidia in make.conf, an emerge -upDv world is still showing the xorg-server blocker and says it wants to reinstall the nvidia kernel and glx ebuilds. What gives with this?
EDIT - DOH, just worked it out, xorg-server-1.1.0 was emerge'd before I changed my VIDEO_CARDS variable. Hopefully a re-emerge of that will solve the problem.
EDIT #2 - nvidia-settings needed to be unmerged to prevent emerge wanting to re-install the nvidia binary drivers. _________________ Jingle Jangle Jewellery |

okay, so the nvidia drivers aren't compatible with xorg 7.1 (or so I just found out). so adding to my /etc/portage/package.mask, I now have something like this:
Code: | >media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.7174-r5
>media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.7174-r2
>media-video/nvidia-settings-1.0.7167
>=x11-base/xorg-x11-7.1
>=x11-base/xorg-server-1.0.99
>=x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard-1.1.0
>=x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse-1.1.0
>=x11-drivers/xf86-input-joystick-1.1.0 |
(The older nvidia-{kernel,driver} because I have to use the old unified driver.) Gentoo has been good about keeping the older nvidia-drivers available in portage, but what about xorg 7.0? do they plan on continued support of that? Surely they don't want to alienate everyone that uses the 3D drivers - or is there a planned (compatibility) fix? |

I had the same problem this morning. I just went back to xorg 7.0 and added xorg 7.1 to package.mask for now.
Aparently nvidia will support xorg 7.1 in the 9xxx series drivers. _________________ Intel Core Quad Q6600 @ 3GHz

In case anyone's interested, the current NVidia drivers DO in fact somewhat work with X.Org 7.1 (even GL), but font rendering is b0rked. |

hey,
can you guys drop a little knowledge on me, and let me know how to fully move back to xorg 7.0 ? I'm kinda stuck in the middle of the upgrade (a kde emerge failed), and now it won't get started again because nvidia-glx is blocking.
i put the stuff from bushwakko in my /etc/portage/package.mask file, but it's still not gonna fly...
thanks very much in advance

Do an emerge -C nvidia-glx and then you should be ok. So long as you have got
Code: | VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" |
in your /etc/make.conf file it should pull it back in on the downgrade |
