Be aware that such a decision may result in an increase in bug reports or since |
| 11 |
it affects new users primarily, possibly people giving up on Gentoo before |
| 12 |
they understand how to eselect back to classic. I've not tried it yet in the |
| 13 |
kernel-3.x era, but every few months I try gallium here, on my radeon hd4650 |
| 14 |
(rv730) AGP, and it has never worked. I get a severe lockup (magic-srq fails, |
| 15 |
only the BRB works) every single time, as I approach the desktop (KDE, now |
| 16 |
4.7.0). |
