Thanks! that was it! After 3 days of fiddling I finally got my 64bit system up |
| 15 |
and running from scratch. Couple of things that suck is the inability to |
| 16 |
apply same "GUI style" to 32-bit apps so that they look exatly the same as |
| 17 |
64bit (gtk-engines-qt etc.) but that's a minor issue. Most importantly all |
| 18 |
apps do work so far. |
