ok I have many questions this time. I set this variable before but for
get where it was. There is something that emerge can to to
automatically write over existing configuration files. And when I first
installed gentoo I set it to do that, not knowing how annoying it could
be. Now I hope someone can help me in changing that back, as when I ran
emerge world a lot of settings were deleted, some of which have been
easy to change, and some not.
Examples include I had to change my xdm from "xdm" to "gdm" and set the
defalut session to gnome. Another which I am having trouble with is
sound. Apparently the modules I had auto-loading before do not now do
the same thing. the two most important are snd and snd-powermac. Which
arises the question does anyone have ALSA or OSS working with gentoo
with a gentoo kernel? I used to have sound working through OSS but I am
not sure whether I changed the vanilla kernel I was using to the gentoo
kernel before I stopped listening to music or not. Currently all I have
been able to get working for gnome output is ESD ( I am not Surprised),
though I don't ever remember installing esound. So maybe it was
installed by emerging gnome or something like that.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
