Congratulations! Nevertheless, three minor observations : - mergebase.sh failed (after resolving conflicts) with "Merge failed." But the script removes ${errfile}. A mv in case of error might be better to have a trace why (I bluntly restarted the script ...). - I did not have the xorg meta-port installed but just xorg-server. In that case, the upgrade path does not seem to install x11-drivers/xorg-drivers. This might be obvious for experienced xorg7.2 users, but for me as a newbie it took me some time to find (especially since this board has some VIA Unichrome VGA chipset which did not work under 6.9 either so I did not look directly for a missing port). It might be worthwhile to add a note on this. - As above, but this time for the fonts : x11-fonts/font-alias seems not to be installed if you have just a subset of xorg-fonts installed rather than the metaport. That said, thanx for all your great work. Regards, Arno PS. Xorg now works OK in vesa and via mode; I might give the unichrome driver a shot later if I have time.
