Yup, but the ldconfig is ouside the for ... done loop. I do a ldconfig
after every single package. Not a big issue and only sometimes required.

Me too. Saves me a lot of trouble. I really think paco is great.

Now all I need to do is to get my old video hardware to run in
accelerated mode. Currently, gnome runs in the fallback mode.

What I don't understand is this:

hermes~> grep disabled /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[    52.013] (II) RADEON(0): GPU accel disabled or not working, using
shadowfb for KMS
[    52.015] (II) RADEON(0): KMS Color Tiling: disabled
[    52.168] (==) RADEON(0): Backing store disabled
[    52.168] (WW) RADEON(0): Direct rendering disabled
[    52.168] (II) RADEON(0): Acceleration disabled
[    52.177] (II) RADEON(0): RandR 1.2 enabled, ignore the following
RandR disabled message.
[    52.178] (--) RandR disabled

but

hermes~> glxinfo | grep -i yes
direct rendering: Yes

Gnome reports driver: Gallium 0.4 on softpipe, Experience fallback.

glxgears gives me about 35 FPS.

That's on a ATI Radeon 9200SE AGP graphic card.

Well, not a big issue, I think I should be grateful it works as it does
now :-)



Ciao,
Lars
