At one point perhaps but I did set to VIDEO_CARDS to just nouveau before |
| 20 |
starting to convert. |

I have done this (more or less). I have |
| 33 |
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--ask --deep --tree --verbose --jobs --load-average=3" |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I did |
| 36 |
emerge --changed-use --update --keep-going world |
| 37 |
and |
| 38 |
emerge --depclean --ask --ignore-default-opts |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
The problem remains (after a reboot). |
| 41 |
Specifically, gdm/gnome-shell puts up the screensaver giving the time in |
| 42 |
big characters and I can't get rid of it using the mouse or keyboard. |
| 43 |
I also tried |
| 44 |
/etc/init.d/gdm restart |
| 45 |
with no improvement. |

thanks, |
