Cannot be done on my machines. On 2 physical machines, and on the |
| 6 |
Gentoo guest, I get... |

On the guest, I unmerged xorg-server and tried emerging |
| 24 |
xf86-video-modesetting. The result was that it would've pulled in |
| 25 |
xorg-server, which would again have blocked xf86-video-modesetting. |
| 26 |
Wierd. |

As I mentioned earlier vmware, cirrus, and bochs all ticked off in |
| 46 |
"make menuconfig". Now that I have something working, I think I'll make |
| 47 |
a copy of the 10-gig guest disk image before any further tweaking that |
| 48 |
might render it inoperative again. |

I've tried that earlier, when things weren't working. Maybe it'll |
| 54 |
work this time. |
