Hi, I'm using kernel 3.6.1-gentoo (which claims to have fixed a synaptics modules bug) with xorg-server-1.11.4-r1 (I can't use a more recent one because my ATI graphics card is too old for ati-drivers 12.4) and xf86-input-synaptics-1.6.2. After a few minutes, it segfaults the kernel ==

Hi, I always prefer to NOT install software this way into my gentoo. Instead of this I first check http://gpo.zugaina.org/ if there is already an ebuild or outdated ebuild for this piece of software. If not I begin to develop my own ebuild. In this case there is already one (sabayon-overlay).
