Well, I do run the etc-update stuff, however I do it from X-windows and |
| 12 |
using 'meld' to graphically see the diffs. So I have a bit of a catch-22 |
| 13 |
here. |

Can you tell me how I can remotely run 'meld' / 'etc-update' on my |
| 16 |
notebook's X-windows off of the server? Then I can apply the other |
| 17 |
etc-updates. Can this even be done, since I can't get X to start on the |
| 18 |
server? |

I have been using the nvidia stable emerge drivers and I haven't upgraded |
| 29 |
the kernel AFAIK. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
I guess I'll try to re-emerge the nvidia drivers. The last ~x86 version of |
| 32 |
them really hosed up X good, so I decided on this box, to run the stable |
| 33 |
ones. |
