Re: [gentoo-user] xorg-6.8 -- xorg-7.0 -- 6.8 -- 7.0 impossible?

2006-07-07 Thread Grant

 I had some trouble upgrading to xorg-x11-7.0 due to a mouse issue so I
 downgraded back to xorg-x11-6.8 via the -K emerge option.  Now I'm
 trying to get back to 7.0 to test the fix and I can't seem to do it.
 After unmerging 6.8, 7.0 emerges just fine without or without the -K
 option.  Trying to startxfce4 after that results in an xinit error and
 there are other missing file X errors before I get to the command
 line (I use gdm).

 Something must be out of order, but I don't know enough about xorg to
 determine what.  'emerge -avDuN world' doesn't come up with anything.
 Does this issue make sense to anyone or do I need to come up with some
 specific error messages?

Yeah, the problem is that you never uninstalled the modular packages
when you downgraded. The easiest way to proceed right now is `emerge -e
xorg-x11`.


Would 'emerge -eK world' be OK so I don't have to recompile?

You mean emerge -eK xorg-x11?  Yeah, that should be allright...

As long as you created the packages before downgrading to monolithic (6.x).

Thanks,

That is what I meant and xorg-x11-7.0 is working great now.  It's so
fast!  Thanks!
