I am used to that by now.
3. He assumes that I want to rebuild my kernel with the (outdated)
Debian kernel-sources. I do not want to do this. I already have an
optimized kernel from Gentoo with working fglrx. I tried to edit
/etc/X11/Xfree-conf4 I did not get any error in
/var/log/XFree86.0.log. but glxinfo shows that I am still using mesa.
I will keep trying and googleing.
I think I will try to solve some other, more important problems first.
Because I do not use fglrx I can also switch to tty1-6 which is very
usefull until I can figure out why Ctrl-Alt-Esc does not work.
I forget you're on 64 bit.
The laptop's running 8.11.0 from www.kernel.org on Intel M. Keep well
away from ReiserFS if you're trying this at home kids.
For completeness: Never mount the same partition twice with two
different operating systems. It causes a lot of corruption. If you ask
yourself why anbody would do that you probably haven't used qemu yet.
A new question:
4. I tried to use (X)Emacs under Debian. When I use the Debian one or
chroot into Gentoo or SuSE I always get the same result: The whole
interface looks differently, especially the font is too big. As I
cannot anything else I think that X is the cause of this. Is there
any way to transfer the settings I have from Gentoo to Debian?
I've spent ages thinking of a sarcastic and witty sentence that I
could use the letters vim in predominately, but failed. Time for a
holiday...
Well, I already have three distros, why not two editors. I am
emergeing/apt-getting it.
Happy Hacking,
