IgnorePkg  = xf86-video-intel xf86-input-evdev xorg-server xorg-apps xorg-xkb-utils xorg-server-utils xorg-utils intel-dri synaptics libgl libdrm xorg-res-utils xf86driproto xf86-input-keyboard xkeyboard-config

Re: IgnorePkg for xf86-video-intel and xorg

Maybe, but to be on the safe side you should also include the x libraries. Basically everything that came into [extra] together with xorg server and has URL freedesktop.org should not be upgraded.

Here is my list. So far it is working. But I'm using xorg-server 1.6.5 and xf86-video-intel 2.9.1 compiled against that xorg-server.

IgnorePkg = xextproto
IgnorePkg = fixesproto
IgnorePkg = inputproto
IgnorePkg = libdrm    
IgnorePkg = libx11    
IgnorePkg = libxext   
IgnorePkg = libxxf86vm
IgnorePkg = libxfixes 
IgnorePkg = libxdamage
IgnorePkg = libdmx    
IgnorePkg = libxt     
IgnorePkg = libxmu    
IgnorePkg = libxpm    
IgnorePkg = libxaw    
IgnorePkg = libxcomposite
IgnorePkg = libxdmcp     
IgnorePkg = libxfont     
IgnorePkg = libxfontcache
IgnorePkg = renderproto  
IgnorePkg = libxrender   
IgnorePkg = libxft       
IgnorePkg = libxi        
IgnorePkg = libxinerama  
IgnorePkg = libxkbfile   
IgnorePkg = libxtst      
IgnorePkg = libxv        
IgnorePkg = libxvmc      
IgnorePkg = libxxf86dga  
IgnorePkg = libxxf86misc 
IgnorePkg = shared-mime-info
IgnorePkg = xf86-input-evdev
IgnorePkg = xf86-input-keyboard
IgnorePkg = xf86-input-mouse   
IgnorePkg = xf86-video-vesa    
IgnorePkg = xf86-video-intel   
IgnorePkg = xorg-apps          
IgnorePkg = xorg-font-utils    
IgnorePkg = xorg-server-utils  
IgnorePkg = xorg-utils         
IgnorePkg = xorg-xkb-utils     
IgnorePkg = libgl              
IgnorePkg = intel-dri          
IgnorePkg = mesa               
IgnorePkg = xorg-server        
IgnorePkg = xterm

You don't need ALL these IgnorePkg arrays, just one.

True, but I just find it easier to read this way. And since these lines are generated by a perl script anyway it's not a question of having to type more.
