My change went quite well here. I removed the flag entry everywhere and |
| 28 |
then did a emerge world, with the correct options of course. I then |
| 29 |
logged out, went to boot runlevel, reloaded the video drivers, went back |
| 30 |
to default and logged in. I can't tell any difference here video wise |
| 31 |
tho. |

I did notice that my sddm problem is worse now. It's worse now than it |
| 34 |
was when it first started. In just a few hours it is consuming over |
| 35 |
4GBs of memory. That is ridiculous to me. It using more than Firefox, |
| 36 |
both profiles, and any other software I have running. I'm thinking |
| 37 |
about looking for a alternative to sddm. I switched to it a while back |
| 38 |
but I don't like this memory hungry thing behaving this way. |
