I've delayed emerging the modular X update, but recently have emerged modular X with only two major issue not mentioned in the wiki. I just didn't have interest in testing modular X early in it's introduction in portage. Howbeit, now that it is a necassary emerge( emerge -pv world has requires it for some months ) and in addition to the good people having tested modular X for years now, I've given good fath that the modular x emerge would be farly quick, minus compile time, and painless( a few minutes searching the forums and not hours searching the net).

The first was that the Modulespath variable in xorg.conf needed to be changed to "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules". The second issue was that I needed to recompile my kernel -- for me "genkernel --old-conf --install all" after mounting /boot -- for X to load the nvida driver.

I would also say remember to put "keyboard" in Device_Input variable in make.conf, and for an easy nvidia install add nvidia to Video_Cards variable.

Thank you all for an update taking only thiry minute of actual research and typing( editing files and executing commands ) the past three days for what I would consider a major change to my system.

Also unwarned was the fact that I needed to manually remove package nvidia-glx
Code:

emerge -C media-video/nvidia-glx


That was needed to eliminate problem
Code:

$ emerge -pv world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating world dependencies |
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "media-video/nvidia-glx".
(dependency required by "x11-libs/qt-3.3.6-r4" [ebuild])



!!! Problem resolving dependencies for app-office/koffice
!!! Depgraph creation failed.
