OTOH if gentoo is about choice, why not let some keen individual compile the mandrake (or better still SuSE) X configuration tool for gentoo and submit an ebuild. You might not use it Ciaran, but others might. frankly I am a user of the -configure option in X, but I usually then have to tweak the monitor settings to get a good resolution. Anyway I can tell that the X gentoo devs will be unlikely to provide a gui, but cheers to anyone else who can be bothered. > -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
