It was a huge 194 package. It ran into some problems, a bunch of xlibs wouldn't install which cause futher problems cascading down the list. (32 packages failed to emerge, I can provide a list if you need it) Anyway I went past them with emerge --resume --skipfirst. After the emerge -e xorg-x11 had finished I went back and emerged the failed packages individually. Everything emerged. Does that mean portage was trying to emerge the packages in the wrong order? I've rebooted and my new x environment appears to be working fine. Thanks for the help Moral of the story: make back ups of critical conf files you've changed yourself before embarking on major upgrades like this :-) Matt -- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Dr. Matthew R.
