Hello Roy Wright,

That's probably the most sane approach, unless you want to remove the
blocker from the ebuild and try the new XOrg with Nvidia. Masking
">=3Dxorg-server-1.4" is not a good idea, because then you'll miss the
removal of the blocker, when Nvidia release new drivers.

It is inelegant, but portage doesn't have an elegant way of handling this
situation. A blocker isn't really the right way to do this, that is meant
to be used when two packages install the same file(s). This is in
incompatibility between versions, but portage doesn't have a way of
saying "don't try to install foo-1.4 if bar-2.7 is installed".
