-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Jason's recent inquiry about the alternate terminals caused me to revisit an issue that I've had for some time. AFAIK, I don't have an xorg.conf. I've tried running `X -configure -verbose' and it fails with a "Signal 11". There are a bunch of modules that have invalid references, but none of them are the modules that should be used for my video card. I've looked at the xorg.conf.example, but can't really make heads or tails of it in regards to my specific equipment.
Ironically, I have no problem running gdm, and then logging into KDE. So I know Xorg is working, I assume with some sort of default configuration. But there are little things that don't quite jive. One of them is the alternate terminals. Another is the fact that my 4-button wheel mouse, isn't recognized as a wheel mouse. While looking closely at /var/log/Xorg.0.log, I noticed that Xorg had been built under a different kernel. So, I re-emerged Xorg under the new kernel. Which spawns a tangential question: How can I tell what other programs on my system would benefit from being re-compiled under the new kernel - instead of re-emerging world? Unfortunately, recompiling xorg under the new kernel didn't seem to make a difference as far as generating a new conf file, but there are some notable differences. One is that gKrellm with the "glass 2" theme is no longer clear. So, if anyone could help with either the xorg.conf issue, or the new-kernel-rebuild question, I'd appreciate it. Thanks. - -- gentux echo "hfouvyyAhnbjm/dpn" | perl -pe 's/(.)/chr(ord($1)-1)/ge' gentux's gpg fingerprint ==> 5495 0388 67FF 0B89 1239 D840 4CF0 39E2 18D3 4A9E -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEjIiFTPA54hjTSp4RArKNAKCRCcdjbBQs2RDSDlCU3wYlaxKn4QCg6AgU sPT+miIO/x+B9jgQBrVjEV0= =H8ss -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
