I'm wondering if there is a Gentoo way to bisect a bug that's crept |
| 2 |
into my 64-bit Intel-based system (Intel process, motherboard and |
| 3 |
graphics) over the last few months. Fundamentally when this bug |
| 4 |
appears it generates a complete X crash back to the gdm login. My |
| 5 |
suspicion is that it's related to the Gentoo push to use firefox-bin |
| 6 |
and 32-bit Flash until some security issues were addressed but I don't |
| 7 |
know that for sure. |

Are there specific overlays I'd want to add using layman that would |
| 10 |
allow me to get back to earlier versions of the Intel graphics driver, |
| 11 |
64-bit Firefox and the now masked versions of Flash I was using say |
| 12 |
2-3 months ago? At this point I don't know for sure that what I need |
| 13 |
isn't in portage and just masked. I'll start reviewing that this |
| 14 |
evening. This post was primarily just to figure out what my options |
| 15 |
might be. |

I've never used sunrise or sunset, etc. Maybe it's as easy as adding |
| 18 |
one of those to layman and then bisecting my way through some |
| 19 |
experiments to figure out where the problem first appeared? |
