I tried it, then it said it was masked, so I gave in the keyword I found on the forum somewhere, but then it hang trying to download a package from dev.gentoo.org....

Here's how I did it.

I'm on a complete ~x86 system (even GCC, kernel sources, and glibc) and have never had a problem (except that ck-sources won't boot for who-know-why). That said, I have

Code:

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"

in my /etc/make.conf, and so I just did

Code:

# emerge -av "=xorg-x11-6.7.0"

(I have heard of many problems with 6.7.0-r1, so I'm sticking with 6.7.0 for now)
