How do I emerge a package, but before it's built apply my own patches to the |
| 2 |
source? |
| 3 |
e.g. use emerge to download the source, unpack it etc - stop it here, do my |
| 4 |
own mods to the source - then let emerge build and install it. |

The main reason is that I am having some problems with xfree4.1.0 locking up |
| 7 |
on with my radeon card (on startx it just locks up and sends the monitor |
| 8 |
into power save mode) unless I use the "noaccel" option which is horribly |
| 9 |
slow and I don't get DRI with that. I have searched the xfree mailing lists |
| 10 |
and found a small hand patch which might fix it, but rather than downloading |
| 11 |
it manually (the xfree source) I'd rather use emerge. However to be able to |
| 12 |
do this on other packages (modifying the source before emerge builds) would |
| 13 |
be useful. |
| 14 |
Also is there anyone else having a Radeon problem with xfree? |
