They are parsed in alphabetical order, so put your own settings in higher numbered files to override the lower numbered files.

Thank you, that seems to have worked. What's up with the naming convention of those /etc/env.d/ files though? - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

In ~/.bashrc alias firefox="export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 firefox" save, source ~/.bashrc in a term and you're done (when you run the command 'firefox' the alias will run, exporting the variable before running the binary). Shell aliases are extremely cool things, especially since I don't myself have time or interest in d**king around with stuff like this when I'm in the middle of something (trying to look something up on the Web, for example, on what turns out to be a Flash site). If there's a hack, implement it, and then d**k around with it when you have time and energy to concentrate, that's what I say. HTH, Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] /etc/env.d help
Hi, You don't write export VAR_NAME in env.d. In the /etc/env.d u only write VAR_NAME="some value" Then run env-update && source /etc/profile In your particular case: add in /etc/env.d/90local and not in /etc/env.d/10MozillaFirefox (this one might get overwritten with an upgrade): $ vim /etc/env.d/90local XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 $ env-update && source /etc/profile $ firefox U have to restart u'r X session or start firefox from the shell to "see" the new environment. Hope it helps, C.

[gentoo-user] /etc/env.d help
Hello, this document: http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Xorg_X11_and_Transparency directs me to add the following: export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 to a file under '/etc/env.d/' to keep flash from crashing firefox. I tried adding it to: /etc/env.d/10MozillaFirefox which already contains: LDPATH=/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox but it does not seem to work. I can get it to work by adding the appropriate line to /usr/bin/firefox, but that is overwritten with a new firefox emerge. Can someone tell me how to use /etc/env.d properly? - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
