Final final note-- I just did an emerge, and suddenly etc-update had |
| 25 |
something it wanted to update... the 30 files. cfg-update still didn't |
| 26 |
know anything about them, so I just did a -5 (yes, I know, I *never* do |
| 27 |
that, this is really the very first time I have) and *finally* replaced |
| 28 |
them (most likely with themselves since I upgraded then downgraded to |
| 29 |
the same version of Xorg I had originally upgraded from). |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
/Now/ this issue is finally done. What a relief! |
