You cannot fail using this: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/modular-x-howto.xml

This step is in the paragraph entitled "First step : Clean out your old X" SO if you don't have X installed, just pass over this step and go to the next "Second step: Installing modular X"

ANyway, for the explaination of what goes wrong: this script is meant to look for files in the /usr/X11R6 directory and find which ebuild they belong to, then make a list of those ebuilds for you to re-emerge them when you're done installing Xorg 7. Since you don't have any xserver installed, there is nothing in this dir, thus the script does nothing. everything is fine.

Edit : the howto porting to modular X11 is intended for developpers who have to make ebuilds compliant with the new modular Xorg ebuilds.

Well, it worked for me. If you do not have X installed then you obviously do not need to uninstall it and you can start with Second Step: Installing Modular X.
If it still wants to install monolithic X then you haven't unmasked modular X.

If /etc/portage/package.unmask doesn't exist, just create it and copy/paste the list of packages in it

chaosteam2000,

Gentoo runs two different package sets loosely called stable and testing.
By defualt, you get the stable packages, which include xorg-x11 6.8. This is the monolithic xorg.

xorg-x11 7.0 is in testing at the moment, (it works for me) to add testing packages to an otherwise stable base system, you have to tell portage that thats what you want. You do that by adding the package names to /etc/portage/package.keywords.

You are not doing

I put the package filelist into --> /etc/portage/package.unmask and nothing happens
it want to install 6.x

no one understand me

((((((((((((((((((((((((( i jump out of the window

every how to tells me the same and all give the same results

aaaahhh x11-6.9.0

is that good?

Monkeh · Veteran Joined: 06 Aug 2005 Posts: 1656 Location: England

It helps to read. Xorg 7 is not hardmasked, it is keyword masked.

chaosteam2000,

No, thats not good. Xorg 6.9 is xorg 6.8 with all the changes except the split into many packages. It will not be maintained. don't use it.

Does /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-x11/xorg-x11-7.0-r1.ebuild exist on your system?
If not, you need to

maybe i should add a note to prevent future-confusion:

i prefer adding a specific version (e.g. =x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1) to the package.*-files as i don't want to stay on testing in general and i wanna notice any status change

this might lead to some confusion if there would be added a version x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r2 and the version x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1 would be dropped from the portage tree
as a result, portage would try to downgrade to some 6.* version which you probably don't want

as an alternative you could also try in package.keywords

kopp · Posted: Tue May 02, 2006 3:35 pm Post subject:

Ooops my bad. It was me who told him to use package.unmask. I didn't read very well and forgot it wasn't hardmasked anymore. Sorry chaosteam. :oops:

chaosteam2000 · n00b Joined: 27 Apr 2006 Posts: 19

ups there is a problem

Calculating dependencies .... done!

!!! Error: the <=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 package conflicts with another package;
!!! the two packages cannot be installed on the same system together.
!!! Please use 'emerge --pretend' to determine blockers.

what did i wrong?

i have mask the x11-6.9

chaosteam2000,

You appear to have a version od xorg-x11 before version 7.0 installed. Do what it says about the -p and post the emerge output that says,
...is blocked by ....
It will be in red text, so you can't miss it.
