I posted some output in anther thread concerning update world
(Subject: How to fix a hefty (emerge) blocking problem)
Someone noticed I had too many x11 drivers installed and suggested I
set the /etc/make.conf VIDEO_CARDS variable (which I never have set
before)
I figured out I have an nvidia card so set VIDEO_CARDS="nv"
Now with my emerge -vuDN @system @world complete I'm unable to start
X. (More on that later in a separate thread)
But a little peek with eix -Ic |grep x11-drivers I still see a hefty

! x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9
on all I checked.
