The easiest/best way is to first install layman (emerge layman) and |
5 |
with it add the 'x11' overlay. |

|

See here for instructions wrt layman: |

Unmask/keyword =x11-base/xorg-server-9999 and its dependencies. (You |
11 |
might want to use app-portage/autounmask to make this a more automated |
12 |
task.) |
13 |
|
14 |
Copy the xorg-server-9999.ebuild from your layman overlay to your |
15 |
local overlay (/usr/local/portage/x11-base/xorg-server/). Edit the |
16 |
file and change this line: |
17 |
|
18 |
EGIT_REPO_URI="git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/xserver" |
19 |
to |
20 |
EGIT_REPO_URI="git://anongit.freedesktop.org/~mattst88/xserver" |
21 |
In the folder where this new ebuild exists, run `ebuild |
22 |
xorg-server-9999.ebuild digest` |
23 |
|
24 |
At this point you should run `emerge =x11-base/xorg-server-9999` and |
25 |
sit back and wait. When this has finished, emerge whatever X11 drivers |
26 |
you need (xf86-input-evdev, xf86-video-{ati,glint}) and do some |
27 |
testing. |
28 |

I don't know what your level of proficiency with Gentoo is, but if |
30 |
it's not high then this process will sound hard--trust me, it's really |
31 |
not. The alternative would be much more complicated. |
