Depending on how old your system was, that might have been the case. I doubt it. This is all gentoo, so everything's perilously close to the bleeding edge. You can't look sideways at it without it dragging in newer versions of things :-}
I remember pinning a few X related things (to keep them from getting too new to be safe) last spring/summer, but no longer ago than that. Oh well, it doesn't really matter, bug identified and worked around, onward. _______________________________________________ xorg-driver-ati mailing list [email protected] http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati
