It was bringing in x-server-17 something along with |
| 43 |
eselect-opengl-3. something and this is where the problems occurred, so |
| 44 |
I downgraded xserver to 16.4 something downgraded mesa and that glproto |
| 45 |
business and all is well, but what a major disaster. This is the ~ |
| 46 |
version that I am running, by the way. |
