Uninstall old X.org
| Code: Cleaning out xorg 6.* |
emerge -Ca xorg-x11 rm -rf /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11 rm -rf /usr/lib/libGL* |
Emerge X.org 7
First, you should set the appropriate VIDEO_CARDS and INPUT_DEVICES flags in /etc/make.conf. To see what flags are available, run emerge -Dpv xorg-x11. On a typical machine with nvidia video, it might look like this:
INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" # VIDEO_CARDS="nv nvidia vesa" --for nvidiaVIDEO_CARDS="radeon fglrx vesa"
| Code: Emerging xorg-x11 |
emerge -Dv xorg-x11 |
A few useful x11 tools that used to be included in the 6.8 build are now their own packages, you can emerge some or all of them now if you know you'll want them:
| Code: Emerging optional tools |
emerge -Dav xev xdpyinfo xvinfo xset xdriinfo xprop |
If you would like some extra fonts, you can emerge them now also:
| Code: Emerging fonts |
emerge -Dav font-adobe-100dpi font-adobe-75dpi font-adobe-utopia-100dpi \ font-adobe-utopia-75dpi font-bh-100dpi font-bh-75dpi font-bh-type1 \ font-bh-lucidatypewriter-100dpi font-bh-lucidatypewriter-75dpi \ font-bitstream-100dpi font-bitstream-75dpi ttf-bitstream-vera \ corefonts sharefonts freefonts font-ibm-type1 |
