I feel with you :) I recently tried xorg-server-1.6, too, with no |
| 16 |
success. |

At the moment I am away for two days from my machine, and so I am doing |
| 19 |
the BIG update now. xorg-server is upgraded to 1.6.3.901-r2, I followed |
| 20 |
the upgrade guide and also did the libxcb stuff. I removed then kdeprefix |
| 21 |
use flag, unmerged all of kde-4.2, updated world, depcleaned. Now emerge |
| 22 |
@kde-4.3 is running. |
| 23 |
And then... we will see. Come on, Gentoo, surprise me, and give me a |
| 24 |
running KDE 4.3 desktop with X and OpenGL and mouse and keyboard. That |
| 25 |
would be great. |
