[gentoo-user] Re: revdep-rebuild question

Alan, Seems reasonable. Would I (Could I?) then do an equery depends on each binary and assuming nothing depends on it remove them by hand without causing damage? I'd want to do another revdep-rebuild every so often to ensure that things remained consistent. Makes sense to me - doing

[gentoo-user] Re: Problems upgrading X

Last, but not least, scrolling down in firefox works abnormally slow for some reason. Does this -again- have something to do with all the other problems? I didn't have the other problems, but following X upgrading, I have this issue - in spades. Takes forever to bring up FF; everything is

[gentoo-user] xorg worked! Minor issues....Thanks, Gentoo

It just plain worked! Emerge even identified -only- my drivers (mouse, keyboard, etc.) before I scanned xorg.conf. Minor problems: 1. The emerge stoped at one point because the uninstall failed to remove an obscure library (perhaps /var/lib/xkb ? sorry, I should have noted it). But

4. I routinely use xterm, xmessage, and xkill - all needed to be emerged. Problem here was that eix and eix -S didn't find them, but emerge did. Perhaps you haven't regenerated eix's cache lately? Didn't help. Perhaps you could try? 5. revdep-rebuild found the missing libXaw.so.8, but

Screen saver worked fine on 3.3; won't work at all on 3.5. If I bring up control center and go to appearance and themes and then to Screen Saver the usual screen saver configuration appears momentarily, and then disappears; taking control center with it. kde-base/kdebase-3.5.2-r1 Any ideas?
