hi

I have a question concerning my modular X installation. I did this
according to the gentoo guide here
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/modular-x-howto.xml.
now, I have synced again, and a lot of blocks are coming up and I am not
sure really how to solve this. These are the blocks. how can I get rid
of them? is it to do with the virtual ebuild or so, I have not really an
idea...

I had the same problem, and found this in the modular Xorg WIKI:

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Modular_Xorg#.27emerge_-u_world.27_wants_to_install_xorg-x11_6.x_or_virtual.2Fx11

However, putting "x11-base/xorg-x11-6*" in /etc/portage/profile/package.provided doesn't seem to work. Instead I just put in "x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8" and then the emerge -u world worked fine without wanting the old xorg-x11-6.8. I suppose in your case maybe you want "x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9" in there as well?
