Unmasking libdrm won't hurt a thing. If you're already using modular x, |
4 |
it's probably already installed in it's stable version. You will need a few |
5 |
things to get XGL running with NVidia's proprietary drivers, such as an |
6 |
alpha version of Mesa, new versions of glitz and much more. Checking out |
7 |
the HOWTO_XGL page on gentoo-wiki.com will tell you exactly what you need to |
8 |
install. |

Just look at Hanno's overlay to see what you're putting on your computer. |
