In concept it does seem fairly straight forward, but to some extent |
| 52 |
I'm not clear why my previous attempts didn't work, unless the |
| 53 |
questionable files remained behind. What I attempted to do was |
| 54 |
completely remove everything X, but I probably didn't specifically |
| 55 |
remove the stuff in /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/extensions. I was |
| 56 |
expecting the emerge to do that. |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
I will repeat the experiment this morning and post back info on the |
| 59 |
steps as I go along. |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
I suppose I could copy Nikos on this thread directly to possibly catch |
| 62 |
his attention but I |
| 63 |
ll save that for later. |
