http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~ken/tmp/blfs-book-DRI/ with changes in xorg-config, clutter (I don't particularly like the way it has decided to use 'the section called', but I suppose its the stylesheet - I gave up trying to create a link to the DRI part of the page), and minor rewording re *hardware* acceleration in metacity, mutter, totem. I'll put this in tomorrow if nobody objects. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
