This package is under a big package.mask. Please don't unmask packages from xorg 1.7 unless you are willing to submit patches.

Thanks

Don't mix stable and unstable/masked parts of X.org. This leads to problems.

In your case, you neglected to upgrade libXxf86vm to 1.1.0

Comment 3 Luke-Jr 2009-10-09 13:19:35 UTC

In this case, the mask states that it is only masked because the prior version needs more testing.

@Chí-Thanh: That's what dependencies are for.

Yes, the qt team chose to go down that route. And the result was not always great. Don't expect Gentoo to keep you from shooting yourself in your foot.
