I posted some output in anther thread concerning update world |
| 2 |
(Subject: How to fix a hefty (emerge) blocking problem) |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
Someone noticed I had too many x11 drivers installed and suggested I |
| 5 |
set the /etc/make.conf VIDEO_CARDS variable (which I never have set |
| 6 |
before) |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
I figured out I have an nvidia card so set VIDEO_CARDS="nv" |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Now with my emerge -vuDN @system @world complete I'm unable to start |
| 11 |
X. (More on that later in a separate thread) |
| 12 |
