When upgrading to x11-base/xorg-server-1.16.0:0/1.16.0 (from 1.15.99.903:0/1.15.99.903), the following is printed: * Messages for package x11-base/xorg-server-1.16.0: * You should consider reading upgrade guide for this release: * http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/xorg-server-1.16-upgrade-guide.xml * You must rebuild all drivers if upgrading from <xorg-server-1.16 * because the ABI changed. If you cannot start X because * of module version mismatch errors, this is your problem. * You can rebuild all installed packages in the x11-drivers * category using this command: * emerge @x11-module-rebuild The link[1] goes to a 404 page. apparently no xorg upgrade guide has been made since 1.10[2], at least not in the indicated location. 1: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/xorg-server-1.16-upgrade-guide.xml 2: http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo/xml/htdocs/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/?hideattic=0
Should just remove the link to the upgrade guide. X doesn't require much configuration these days. :)

I would agree that an upgrade guide doesn't really make any sense these days... certainly not an upgrade guide on every 1.x -> 1.y bump. Maybe just a link to the regular gentoo xorg guide (on the wiki now) makes more sense.
