Here's what I'm thinking. Option 1) We add new revisions of nvidia, vnc, opengl-update that only work with 7.0RC and newer. This may require some extra work to keep them in sync with ebuilds compatible with older X, as long as we care about older X (In essence, until 7.0 release). Option 2) We make some function like get-x-module-dir in x11.eclass. Ebuilds that need it inherit and decide what to do based on what's installed. Yes this sucks for binary packages built to use on the other X version, but I think it's a better option because it doesn't require as much ongoing time investment. This is similar to what most packages to which it mattered did with the xorg/xfree switch. Option 3) Other ideas?
