NO GUARANTEE!!! If you don't want problems, then stick with -x86. Honestly, you sound like some politician whining when the first rocket failed during the space race.

If you want something that's useable, even in the unsupported software area, I don't think you'll find any distro that can help you. I can understand if you think that the stable listings are a bit stale. I'm still waiting for my two personal favourite programs to be declared safe (YaKuake and Katapult) but I'm not willing to suffer the big massive upgrade headache over it. Calm down. You're overracting. Furthermore, of all linux distros I've ever had experience with, Gentoo is NOT for "ease-of-use," but rather for the power user that knows what he (or she) is doing. If you can't swim then get out of the deep end of the pool. Go find something safer like Kubuntu or Debian, learn your Linux concepts there, then migrate to the more challenging (but, IMHO, more rewarding) Gentoo. That's what I did. I used Kubuntu and Debian for six months until I felt ready for Gentoo (and they built a graphical installer - I'm averse to installation manuals that are over thirty pages ; ) No one's (to my knowledge) asking you to use Gentoo. I don't see why you (apparently) feel so scandalized. Calm down. pgpPSzlmxoqeb.pgp Description: PGP signature

It WAS great, but it really isn't for usage. Well, I could say: "THAT'S UNUSABLE." Thank's onesmore Frank Standard procedure for resolving blockages: unmerge the offending package, in your case >=xorg-x11-6.9 (`emerge -C >=xorg-x11-6.9`). Since that's the only package blocking all those others, unmerging it will solve the whole mess. The Modular Xorg Migration Guide[1] may help you.

If you want modular Xorg it stands to reason you will have to remove the monolithic version first. If you don't want it then you have no business running '~x86'.
