Well, there's something since I always rebuild GTK+ after I build librsvg. [checking an older version of BLFS where I saw that] Okay, so not really. Cairo requires it for testing the SVG backend. Although I am 100% sure librsvg is also required for something else. [checking build logs] Okay, Emacs uses it, but that's not what I was after. Nevermind. Still sure something else requres librsvg but can't prove it. :) > > Skype is mentioned. I suppose this is a binary linux distribution > > downloaded from Skypes website. Correct? > > Yes Bugger. I did at one point see some seed of an open-source implementation of Skype, but that code had questionable legal origin and it didn't really work.

Any improvements in the way system handles itself with the new firmware? Normally I use AMD, but I'm now on an Intel box so I have to bother with this a bit. BTW, I found that putting firmware into the kernel binary (as opposed to /lib/firmware) works best for me.
