-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've just upgraded my laptop to X.org 7.0. So far things are going fairly smooth but I'm running into a few initial problems.
I did the pacman -Rc xorg, then pacman -s xorg. I then updated the paths in my xorg.conf and created a symlink from /usr/X11R6 to /usr to appease apps that can't find xorg's new home. Initially I had a problem with the synaptics touchpad driver. It seems the new synaptics package in testing doesn't put the driver in the right place, or my xorg is misconfigured, either way it couldn't find the driver. The package installed it to /usr/lib/moddules/input/synaptics_drv.o I created a link to that from /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/synaptics_drv.o and x was happy again, sort of. I'm also getting the following glcore error: dlopen: /usr/lib/modules/extension/libGLcore.so: undefined symbol: at least I finally clean gnome off my system.__glXLastContext (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libGLcore.so (EE) Failed to load module "GLcore" (loader failed, 7) Google wasn't very forthcoming with a solution. It seems that this has happened with previous releases and no one has posted a fix for this release yet, at least not one that shows up on the first few pages. I'm not using anything gl related on my laptop and this error doesn't keep x from starting so I'm fine with ignoring it for now, but if someone has a fix I would like to hear it. In other news, xfce4 now works with 2.6.15-rc6 on my system. I don't know why it would hang the system before, but things are fine now. I've still got a lot of packages to reinstall, since I wiped everything that depended on xorg, and do some more testing. But so far things are going smoother then I expected. - -- - -andy [EMAIL PROTECTED] gpg key: http://home.comcast.net/~phydeaux37/phy_pub_key.txt -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDrOrlZ+VUs8yzYV8RAq6hAJ4p7XEeqSNqHLcTdLdVjr/1/cj1EwCg4rZo NEhOG47/Gsug6mH47VWBuLU= =lA49 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
