I've done it a bunch of times without problem. You should restart X once the
emerge is done, however, in order to have your new version operational.

Ctrl-z sends the process to background. Ctrl-z in the emerging terminal to
hold the emerge, fg in that same terminal to continue emerging. Meanwhile,
you could quit X or whatever.

Hi,
I tried it but apparently didn't do it right, or possibly it was
because the xorg emerge was part of a larger emerge -puvD world
process. Anyway, I had to start it over.

In the spirit of a thread a week ago about etc-update breaking
machines, the xorg etc-update step broke mine this evening. It looked
innocent enough. It wanted to change the keyboard driver from 'kbd' to
'keyboard'. I let it do it and X wouldn't start. Good think I had been
paying attention as I was able to hand edit my config file and X came
back up.

Anyway, thanks for the answers even if I didn't apparently
understand them completely. I really appreciate that this group of
people respond so quickly and so generously.

With best regards,
Mark

If the terminal you ran emerge in was an xterm (meaning any terminal
emulator in X and not the actual console) then when you quit X you
lost the terminal. So if you did Ctrl-z to suspend it, then quit X,
and then tried to fg in the console it wouldn't work, as the console
you ran fg in didn't have any suspended processes.

This is why I do everything in screen. :)

Thank you Owen! I don't have time to study it right now, but this
looks like exactly the right level for me.

I appreciate you passing this along.

Thanks,
Mark
