I already masked in package.mask >=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-391.0.0 >=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-435.21 >=x11-base/xorg-server-1.20.14 but running emerge -uDNavq world - is forcing me to upgrade to "x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-435.21" !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-435.21[abi_x86_32(-)?,abi_x86_64(-)?,abi_x86_x32(-)?,abi_mips_n32(-)?,abi_mips_n64(-)?,abi_mips_o32(-)?,abi_s390_32(-)?,abi_s390_64(-)?]" have been masked. !!!
