1 | Hello, |
2 | |
3 | I installed twm to test my xorg as per the gentoo install docs. Works great! |
4 | |
5 | Then I decided to install what I thought would be a lightweight WM: |
6 | xfce4 with "emerge -vat xfce4-meta". Unfortunately emerge didn't want |
7 | to continue without some changes from me involving USE flags gudev, |
8 | policykit, and consolekit. |
9 | |
10 | At this point I see three options: |
11 | |
12 | 1. Understand gudev, policykit, and consolekit and not be frightened |
13 | of them (a tall order given the google results I am getting). Then |
14 | enable the USE flags and install xfce4-meta |
15 | |
16 | 2. Do not attempt to understand the USE flags and enable them anyway |
17 | (frightening given all the polictykit and consolekit chatter I see on |
18 | google) |
19 | |
20 | 3. Select another WM that is more "lightweight" and doesn't require |
21 | these USE flags. |
22 | |
23 | I'm leaning towards (3). |
24 | |
25 | Can you recommend a WM that will not require me to enable gudev, |
26 | policykit, and consolekit? |
27 | |
28 | Thank you, |
29 | |
