I read that document a while ago. |
| 6 |
It says I need : |
| 7 |
1) gentoo-sources 2.6.29 + : I'm ok, my version is 2.6.29-r5 |
| 8 |
2) xorg-server 1.6+ : here I'm too old. I have 1.5.3-r6. however, emerge |
| 9 |
says that 1.5.3-r6 is the latest available.... |
| 10 |
3) xf86-video-intel 2.6.1+: I have 2.6.3-r1. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Do you think it wold be a good idea to upgrade xorg, even if emerge says |
| 13 |
I've the latest available version? |

Thank you, |
