1 Hello Philip,

3 May I ask you to throw me a couple of "bones" :)

5 I am catching up on gentoo threads (after getting laid off and now
6 have time to remove hal. lol!). I've already removed hal from
7 make.conf and then made package.use entries based on an `equery
8 depends hal`.

34 I would be grateful to get a copy of your xorg.conf. It would be very
35 useful leg-up, I think. :)

37 Also, what is the testing version of xorg server? Is that a different
38 gentoo package or perhaps manifested with a different architecture
39 accept keyword such as stable vs unstable (amd64 vs ~amd64). Thank you.
