Alternately, there's kdrive in the tree now, and I should soon be adding an updated version of that renamed to xserver once I convince latexer or twp to add the new glitz. Or the old xorg-x11. Or xdirectfb. Think that's all ... I'll add a note on servers to the guide.

Or xdirectfb. Oh yeah. If this X server isn't actually required to complete the installation, please don't add it to the dependencies. That breaks things for people interested in running applications over the network. They only require the libraries and headers locally. I was referring to games that require a local X server, which is pretty much all of the binary games, especially OpenGL-based ones. For anything non-OpenGL or source-based, the dependencies would be explicit on the libraries needed. Now, if any of you have some secret that allows games like Enemy Territory to display to a remote machine, I'd love to hear them. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead/QA Manager Games - Developer Gentoo Linux signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Something like DMX+Chromium, to get you acceleration. FWIW, DMX is already integrated into XOrg. http://dmx.sourceforge.net/ http://chromium.sourceforge.net/ Donnie -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDANB8XVaO67S1rtsRArXAAKCLMQsiACeIqrf97HcqUahGFjdY6QCfXRFo IkcSrhk8MGByg6bEV07ZzJc= =kOxF -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
