I switched back to using the kernel modules and it started working correctly. Remember, if you use the xf86-video-i810 package that you have to rebuild after every kernel rebuild and sometimes you'll also have to re-emerge the x11-drm package as well. Also, a mesa upgrade had broken my direct rendering and a downgrade fixed it.

Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo gets as bad SuSE: Circular dependencies [WAS: Thank you Gentoo devs]

If we just want an simple-to-use package which gets the Xserver *and* drivers based on useflags (which IMHO is an good idea), it's quite trivial to do this by an virtual/meta package. I've did it and it works good. You can get it from my overlay via CVS: You totally baffle me. As I've previously stated, I just installed Gentoo with xorg, kde, etc. on a new machine and there were no circular dependencies or any other problems. The whole lot emerged without error and installed my selected driver, nvidia. So where is the problem that you are supposedly seeing? Be lucky, Neil -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

No, that is not funny, but I'll tell you what is humorous. That all three posters involved in saying Gentoo was too easy were speaking sarcastically and then watching you try to use it to prove some point other than the obvious fact that you have no idea what you're talking about.

I've did it and it works good. You can get it from my overlay via CVS: That is exactly what the xorg-x11 metapackage is designed to do. If you don't add in a million USE flags that don't want to play nice, then it should all compile (in theory). I say in theory, because there are always things that can possibly get in the way. Bugs happen on occasion. I am learning how to properly use USE flags myself. ^_^ -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] trying to set up fonts in Xorg-7.2 + Firefox-2
I just got done setting up the Xorg-7.2 and Fluxbox, and after compiling and running Firefox-2 for the first time, I found that the default font set-up wasn't to my liking. It looked strange and wouldn't produce any boldfaces in Gmail. So I followed a Howto Xorg and Fonts - Gentoo Linux Wiki, and my font paths for Xorg currently have: FontPath /usr/share/fonts/misc/:unscaled FontPath /usr/share/fonts/Type1/ FontPath /usr/share/fonts/corefonts/ FontPath /usr/share/fonts/freefonts/ FontPath /usr/share/fonts/sharefonts/ FontPath /usr/share/fonts/terminus/ FontPath /usr/share/fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera/ FontPath /usr/share/fonts/unifont/ FontPath /usr/share/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled FontPath /usr/share/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled FontPath /usr/share/fonts/dejavu/ FontPath /usr/share/fonts/intlfonts/ I removed the /usr/share/fonts/TTF and /usr/share/fonts/OTF entries that were in my /etc/xorg.conf, since I did not find those directories in my /usr/share/fonts directory. In Firefox-2 advanced fonts colors menu, I set proportional to Serif (16), serif to bitstream vera serif, sans-serif to bitstream vera sans, and monospace to bitstream vera sans mono (12). However, I notice no change from the original Firefox-2 font appearance, unless I check the always use my fonts option. When I always use my fonts, I get boldfaces in Gmail, etc, which is good, but the default font size in Firefox is still too small, and I always need to click on View-Text Size - Increase. I would like my Firefox fonts under Xorg to look more or less like my Firefox fonts under Windows ;) How did some of you deal with customizing fonts in Firefox? And how can I make the font in Firefox menus and URL bar larger? Thanks, and I apologize in advance if my questions are too simplistic or have already been asked many times before... -Denis -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] Re: trying to set up fonts in Xorg-7.2 + Firefox-2
I apologize - please disregard my post. I edited userChrome.css, and that did it, and also set the minimum font size to 16. I'm satisfied now :-) Denis On 5/20/07, Denis [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I just got done setting up the Xorg-7.2 and Fluxbox, and after compiling and running Firefox-2 for the first time, I found that the default font set-up wasn't to my liking.
