I guess what I would do in your situation would be to just nuke everything in the x11 categories: # grep x11 /var/lib/portage/world # cd /var/db/pkg && emerge -Cva x11*/* The first gets a list of the x11 packages that you had in your world file. The second removes all of it. Then I would emerge modular X.org again and make sure not to overwrite it by emerging monolithic X.org. -- Bo Andresen
