The X server has an ABI break, so drivers compiled for xorg-server 1.3 or earlier will break. As per the "2.6.22 stable plans" thread around the beginning of August, the X team is moving to the same policy as the kernel team. We will no longer wait for out-of-tree drivers such as the binary Nvidia or ATI/AMD drivers. We will, however, file a bug in advance of stabilization to the maintainers of out-of-tree drivers. Thanks, Donnie -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
