I expect it's simply not knowing about the eselect mesa bit, and having |
20 |
something set wrong, originally. It would have been interesting to see |
21 |
what the xorg log said before we started experimenting, as I suspect that |
22 |
we fixed it in two stages, either setting something else wrong before we |
23 |
found the first problem so fixing it didn't solve the entire problem, or |
24 |
having two misconfigured settings in the first place and it took getting |
25 |
them both correct to fix the problem. |

FWIW, if you haven't already done so, you will probably want to enable |
28 |
eselect's tab-completion option, among others. eselect bashcomp list will |
29 |
give you a *BIG* list (199 items long, here) of bash-completion command |
30 |
options you can activate if you use them on the command line. Each login |
31 |
user can run eselect bashcomp and set their own prefs, so root doesn't |
32 |
have to have the same set of active bash-completions as your normal user, |
33 |
as someone (significant-other, whatever) else with a login on your |
34 |
computer, etc. |
35 |
|
36 |
Tab-completion for commands like eselect make them **MUCH** easier to use |
37 |
effectively, just as tab-completion for filesystem paths makes them both |
38 |
much easier to use effectively, AND much easier to use without error. If |
39 |
you tab-complete an rm command, you're MUCH less likely to typo and rm the |
40 |
wrong thing, and MUCH more likely to catch it if you do typo, due to the |
41 |
completion giving you something unexpected, before you actually do the |
42 |
removal! |
43 |
|
44 |
With eselect tab completion enabled, it too becomes much easier to use |
45 |
effectively and without error. =:^) |
