So I have to put the above pkgs in /etc/portage/package.mask |
| 19 |
and do: |
| 20 |
wget -O - http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/modular-x-packages.txt >> |
| 21 |
/etc/portage/package.keywords |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
After these steps I would be able to install Xorg & Xgl & Compiz with |
| 24 |
"emerge -C xorg-x11 /virtual/x11 && emerge -DuNav world" |
| 25 |
and following the instructions in the "Gentoo Xgl Howto" ( |
| 26 |
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_XGL ) |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Is that correct? Because I really hate the idea of loosing another couple of days |
| 29 |
compiling X servers and downgrading to stable after all. ;-( |
