Most things are committed, with the exception of the metabuilds. I'm |

still working on them. |

If you want to try it, you'll have to add a bunch of stuff to |
| 12 |
package.unmask. Then emerge xorg-server, then whatever drivers you want |
| 13 |
(look in x11-drivers/). |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
If you do unmerge your xorg-x11 install, you'll probably have to emerge |
| 16 |
a few apps in x11-apps for things to work properly (xinit, xauth, |
| 17 |
iceauth, xhost, mkfontdir/mkfontscale, xkbcomp. You'll also want to grap |
| 18 |
xbitmaps, xkbdata and xcursor-themes from x11-misc. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Currently, it will overwrite parts of your xorg-x11 installation. I |
| 21 |
purposely didn't set it to block yet so it would be possible to mix and |
| 22 |
match parts to help find breakages. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
If you find bugs that aren't purely ebuild problems, do not file them at |
| 25 |
bugs.gentoo.org -- go to bugs.freedesktop.org, in the xorg product. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Two USE flags you will care about are "dri" and "glx" -- both are |
| 28 |
necessary to get accelerated 3D. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
The font-server flag may be necessary in libXfont, but I haven't fully |
| 31 |
explored this yet. If it turns out to be the case, it'll be removed as |
| 32 |
an optional flag and forced on. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
I will be re-adding a few patches; in particular, the customized |
| 35 |
startx/xinit stuff and the cursor paths (/usr/share/cursors and |
| 36 |
/usr/local/share/cursors), along with anything else I consider |
| 37 |
non-upstream material and worth my time. |

Thanks, |
