I decided to install a Gentoo KDE system on this box, to try once again to |
| 2 |
find a way of giving it a civilised look, and while I was at it I thought |
| 3 |
it a good idea to try out the new X window system. I followed the howto at |
| 4 |
www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/modular-x-howto.xml and all seemed to |
| 5 |
go remarkably smoothly. |

Now I'm looking around for oddities, and this one puzzles |
| 8 |
me: /var/log/Xorg.0.log says '(II) Initializing built-in extension |
| 9 |
XINERAMA'. I know the use flag is not set because 'USE="-xinerama" emerge |
| 10 |
-upDvN world' gives no packages to update, whereas omitting the minus sign |
| 11 |
causes a whole lot of packages to be updated (but not libXinerama). |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
$ qpkg -I -v libXinerama |
| 14 |
x11-libs/libXinerama-1.0.1 * |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
What caused this library to be built? I see this: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
$ equery d libXinerama |
| 19 |
[ Searching for packages depending on libXinerama... ] |
| 20 |
x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1 |
| 21 |
x11-apps/xdpyinfo-1.0.1 |
| 22 |
x11-libs/gtk+-2.8.12 |
| 23 |
x11-libs/qt-3.3.4-r8 |
| 24 |
x11-libs/qt-4.1.1 |
| 25 |
kde-base/ksplashml-3.5.1 |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Is this a problem, or am I just being fussy? Quite possibly, the |
| 28 |
modularisation of X is not yet finished and this small anomaly will go away |
| 29 |
soon. |
