Exactly. My use of fluxbox on this machine was to test that X is even |
| 18 |
working over S-Video. (It is.) My goal after that was to emerge MythTV |
| 19 |
again and try running that. That causes X to crash for MTRR problems |
| 20 |
so that would be today's goal. This didn't used to happen with my old |
| 21 |
kernel and the fglrx driver so probably I haven't configured the |
| 22 |
kernel correctly? |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
With xorg-server & fluxbox emerged I only needed about 20 packages to |
| 25 |
get Myth installed so I agree that xorg-x11 pulls in a bunch of stuff |
| 26 |
I probably don't need. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I would have emerged xorg-x11 if I hadn't been reading through the |
| 29 |
xorg config guide once again and seen that this was an option. I'm not |
| 30 |
sure the other stuff is big, but it's a lot of packages. |
