Today I emerged the new xorg-server-1.7.1, however I found I have to downgrade to xorg-server-1.6 because currently nvidia-drivers needs lower version than xorg-server-1.6.99. (emerge world did not pull in xorg-server-1.7 because of this dependency break, but I tried to emerge xorg-server-1.7 manually for some reason, which I think to be a mistake..) But I found I could not downgrade back to any version of xorg-server-1.6.x. So I post the error message of xorg-server-1.6.5 here Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge =x11-base/xorg-server-1.6.5 2. 3.

Same error here when I tried to re-emerge xorg-server-1.6.5 after seeing the warning messages from an earlier emerge upgrade of libXi.

It seems to be caused by version conflicting of packages in =x11-proto/xcmiscproto-1.2.0 =x11-proto/xf86bigfontproto-1.2.0 =x11-proto/bigreqsproto-1.1.0 =x11-proto/xf86driproto-2.1.0 =x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.7 =x11-proto/xextproto-7.1.1 =x11-proto/fixesproto-4.1.1 =x11-proto/bigreqsproto-1.1.0 =x11-libs/libX11-1.3.2 =x11-libs/libXext-1.1.1 =x11-proto/inputproto-2.0 =x11-libs/libXi-1.3 =x11-proto/recordproto-1.14 =x11-libs/libXtst-1.1.0 =x11-proto/xineramaproto-1.2 =x11-libs/libXinerama-1.1 =x11-proto/xf86vidmodeproto-2.3 =x11-libs/libXxf86vm-1.1.0 =x11-proto/scrnsaverproto-1.2.0 =x11-libs/libXScrnSaver-1.2.0 =x11-proto/xf86dgaproto-2.1 =x11-libs/libXxf86dga-1.1.1 I don't know which they are. But simply masking them and downgrade them could get xorg-server 1.6.5 back... I apologize if I have wasted anybody's time for my stupid reporting...

I'd better not to update my machine for a few days...
