1 Hi all.
2 Since about one month and a half i am maintaining the GParted livecd
3 which is based on gentoo-catalyst.
4 Till snapshot 20070129 i got no special problem. But since snapshot
5 20070203 (and later), there is something weird that happens with
6 mkxf86config :
7 I keep only vesa as video driver. Till snapshot 20070129, mkxf86
8 generated a xorg file that tried to load vesa for all kind of video card.
9 But since snapshot 20070203, it is like this : ati asks for ati, radeon
10 for radeon, vmware for vmware .....
11 SO X failed to load, of course. I have to add in overlay the missing
12 drivers...
13
14 So i wonder why mkxf86 changed ( it is the same version btw !). I didnt
15 make any changes but the snapshot !
16 If needed, you may have a look at svn :
17 http://gparted.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gparted/livecd/trunk/

19 thx for any advise :)
