So I have to put the above pkgs in /etc/portage/package.mask and do: wget -O - http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/modular-x-packages.txt >> /etc/portage/package.keywords After these steps I would be able to install Xorg & Xgl & Compiz with "emerge -C xorg-x11 /virtual/x11 && emerge -DuNav world" and following the instructions in the "Gentoo Xgl Howto" ( http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_XGL ) Is that correct? Because I really hate the idea of loosing another couple of days compiling X servers and downgrading to stable after all. ;-( -- Best regards, Daniel -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
