Latest? I suppose this makes me a ricer in some camps, but here, I'm |
| 12 |
running xorg 7.1-rc2, the latest masked in-tree version as of yesterday, |
| 13 |
compiled with a still masked but surprisingly trouble-free gcc-4.1.0. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
(On the gcc thing, pan 0.9x, again still masked and I'm running a version |
| 16 |
from a bumped ebuild in my overlay, to get the latest from the site, |
| 17 |
requires >300 MB memory to build with gcc 4.1.0, but 1.3 GIGABYTES to |
| 18 |
compile with the old and decrepit but latest unmasked gcc 3.4.6. Stumbled |
| 19 |
across that when an Gentoo amd64 user couldn't get it compiled on his |
| 20 |
~arch box running gcc-3.4.x, with "only" a gig of memory -- the kernel OOM |
| 21 |
killer kept killing it. I tested on my box with 8 gig of memory and came |
| 22 |
up with the above numbers.) |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Anyway, no problems beyond the to-be-expected issues with an xorg rc (the |
| 25 |
xorg-native radeon driver isn't recognizing ctrl-alt-numplus/numminus |
| 26 |
hotkey zooming, at present, tho the xorg log says it sends it, and |
| 27 |
krandr/xrandr work), and of course GNOME's retardedness, lacking a place |
| 28 |
to type the path in the filechooser unless you ctrl-L hotkey it, etc. |
