The only way that you'll be able to resolve this is to remove the
nvidia-drivers package and switch to Nouveau. If Nouveau works with
your graphics chipset, it is win-win, since that driver is maintained in
the kernel tree. Otherwise, keep checking to see if it becomes supported.
You can work around it by masking ">x11-base/xorg-server-1.11", but that
will (eventually) begin to cause problems as the rest of the system
evolves around it.
Is 173.14.xx the last driver that supports your card, or will any newer
one support your card? Which chipset is your card using?

than he could before, if he is sincere about it and has common sense.
