I am not sure that the above is causing the issue, but my KDE infrequently
crashes, which I did not have before with earlier versions of xorg or KDE. I am
not very bothered by this issue right now but would like to see if we can get
to the root of the problem. If need be, how would one go back to a previous
version of xorg, like 1.5.3?
I'm using this version and it works fine.
x11-base/xorg-server-1.6.5-r1
It's also still in portage so it would be easier to install too. You
may want to give that a try. I think the 'source' devs know about this
issues so it will most likely be fixed pretty soon. According to what I
read on the forums it is a change on xorg-server that the video drivers
are not ready for or maybe the other way around. That was my take. For
me, as long as they know it is a issue, I'm willing to give them time to
fix it.
Now if they start taking things out of portage and leave us with nothing
but broke stuff, then we have a problem. We would then need to let the
Gentoo devs know that those version are all that can be used until
things get fixed upstream.
