But the result isn't very good. I have the following behaviour
consistently: boot system, X starts fine, I close X on purpose, second
time X doesn't start, receives signal 11, third time on starting X my
system hangs badly and I have to press the power button for 4 secs.
make sure your login manager termiates X. Also remove all ati files from
/etc/acpi
I was starting X using xinit from the command line. X was being
terminated alright.
The behaviour after the upgrade to xorg 7.4 is the same. Unloading the
fglrx kernel module allows me to restart X without problems.
Oh, well, at least now I have OpenGL 2.1 in Mesa too.
Same here, plus that switching to VTs and back to X a couple of times
hangs the machine. That's has always the case with fglrx, with any
version ever produced, on any distro you can imagine.
Sorry to ask again, what is your approach to keeping xorg 7.4
installed? Using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS?
I did put the lengthly list of files in package.keywords with ~amd64,
but I'm not sure this is the beast approach in the long run.
It is for a system that is mostly arch with some selected packages from
~arch. And you can omit the "~amd64" ;) Just list the atom in
package.keywords without an "~amd64" in the end.
For a system that is completely ~arch, the recommended way I saw people
talking about is to use an "~arch profile". I've no idea what that is
though :D Point is, they don't recommend using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS.
