I just had to update xorg.conf, but having white showing up as pink and not being able to launch any term was a surprise at first :) I also got problems with the path to rgb.txt. In my case, the consequences were less dramatic: xmms looked very ugly and all tcl/tk applications failed to run (error was something about being unable to run application Black). I solved my problems by commenting RgbPath setting in xorg.conf. I would suggest the line with RgbPath is commented in xorg.conf.example. Regards, Peter Cech -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

While I'll respond here, it's generally better to post these sorts of issues on bugs.gentoo.org (searching first!), as they don't really belong on this list and no doubt others will have the same issues. From the xorg-x11 metabuild: # Filter out ModulePath line since it often holds a now-invalid path # Bug #112924 # For RC3 - filter out RgbPath line since it also seems to break things some excluded code that does just that After merging xorg-x11, running etc-update will rid your xorg.conf of these lines. This functionality has been around for a month or so in the ebuild iirc. I believe that xorg.conf.sample is not provided by 7.0 currently, so you're probably looking at a 6.8.x version. -- Joshua Baergen -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

I've been meaning to get it into guidexml and make it a real project doc for a while now (and the accompanying porting guide), but haven't had time. Anybody who wants to help out by doing this is quite welcome to do so. I'm taking off for a week, so Josh will be taking care of your X. Thanks, Donnie -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

What's this mean for everybody who maintains X-using applications? Well, 7.0 will probably come out of package.mask in a month at most, so that's how long you have to either get your apps ported or suffer with them being broken on ~arch systems. That's the stick end of this; I provided the carrot a while back and didn't get many takers. Thanks, Donnie -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
