[gentoo-user] xorg-server 1.7.

[Dale <rdalek1967@gmail.com>]

Hi folks,

I did my updates a bit ago.  I notice xorg and a lot of friends were 
updated.  The update went fine as far as it compiled and installed 
fine.  I did my config updates and such as well.  To make sure 
everything stayed sane, I logged out of KDE, then went to single user 
mode and back to default.  I figured this was a sure way to restart all 
the services that would be upgraded.

When kdm came back up, no keyboard, no mouse nothing.  So I used the 
trusty sysreq keys to get back to a console.  Now I'm trying to roll 
back to the older version that I was using before the upgrade.  As most 
of you know, I have hal disabled and I confirmed that it is indeed still 
disabled.  I masked mesa and xorg back to the old version.  Now they 
won't compile.  I get errors like this:

There is my wish list.  If I can get the new xorg stuff working, that is 
cool.  If no one else is having trouble with them and it is my hardware 
or something then getting the old version to compile and install would 
be fine too.

Anyone have a clue how to get something to work here?

BTW, if I log into KDE with the new packages, I can log in once but when 
I log out of KDE, the screen goes black and nothing happens.  Even the 
sysreq keys do nothing.  Reset button is all that works.

Thoughts?  I need a hammer?
