Well. The server is critical. I can't have that be down, so I'm fine with leaving X6 for now till X7 is figured out or whatever. I'm in no rush. But it was preventing me from doing an "emerge -Davu world" to see what else I might need (such as the new rails) > BTW, did you happen to try the open-source nv driver on your laptop? No. I haven't had time to mess around with X7 on my notebook. I get so frustrated with Linux sometimes. I swear I'm on the verge of getting a Mac Pro (now that you can dual boot XP/OSX) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
