OK, for completeness and to help anyone else who might go through this,
I've migrated from XOrg-6.9.0 to XOrg7.

Because I had CONFIG_DRM and CONFIG_DRG_RADEON set in the kernel, I had
to remove those, rebuild,and download drm-git, mesa-lib and xf86-video-ati.

I moved the following to zlocal to change "depends %X" to "depends XOrg7"
in order to check that they would rebuild:
    openMotif, gtk+, gnuplot, latex-xft-fonts, tk, qt3, gtk+-2, espgs,
    teTex, vim, cairo
the openMotif is important, because lots of other modules depend on libXm.

I've run "lunar unset LUNAR_ALIAS_X" and just reinstalled GraphicsMagick
(which I had removed after the XOrg-6.9.0 update just to speed things up)
and which also "depends %X" so it prompted me to set the alias and this
time I chose XOrg7 or course.

I've just run "lvu unedit" on the zlocal modules above, and "lunar fix"
has run with no problem. So it looks like the migration is complete.

Maybe I could have just "lunar unset LUNAR_ALIAS_X" right at the start,
(and run "lunar fixdepends" ?) and everything would have rebuilt without
problem, If yes, maybe this tip should be added to the Install_XOrg7 page.

Cheers

required the installation or rebuilding of the following 84 modules:
