I'm happy to announce: |
| 2 |
Gnome2 beta5 + is now avaiable in portage! |
| 3 |
its mostly masked for testing, and you will have to edit your |
| 4 |
/usr/portage/package.mask to get it install-able |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Just search for "gnome2" and you will find it fairly simply. |
| 7 |
there's a lot of packages there for you, just add a # in front of them, |
| 8 |
then proceed. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
emerge gnome will then emerge Gnome2 desktop beta5, but it will not |
| 11 |
emerge every application that is ported to gnome2. |
| 12 |
(some programs avaiable are: ggv, mrproject, gimp, gnumeric ) |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Yes, its possible to get AA text in Gnome2 |
| 15 |
export GDK_USE_XFT=1 |
| 16 |
then startx and you will have it. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
to launch Gnome 2 just set you XSESSION to "gnome" and there you are. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
This will replace your normal Gnome Desktop, but will leave all Gnome |
| 21 |
applications in working order. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
If you want your old panel run : "panel" |
| 24 |
for the old Gnome Control Center run : "gnomecc" |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
In following of the Sun and Gnome predictate, the default installed |
| 27 |
WindowManager is "Metacity". Sawfish is also avaiable as a snapshot, or |
| 28 |
with your old version. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |

|
| 32 |
