[gentoo-user] [OT?] What's going on with X.org?
Hey, all-- I just did an esync and I have a *huge* number of X.org-related masked packages-- from a whole lot of 'Prototype headers', to fonts, libraries, and drivers. Clearly there's big changes a-coming. Oh, I see-- this is modular X.org, I guess. Does anyone know where there might be a summary of what this means to a user generally, or a Gentoo user specifically? The information on the freedesktop site is more targeted at developers, which doesn't so much help me, especially since I've got 'special circumstances' (that bloody ATI card). I'd really like to know what to expect as this migration propagates down to me... before it does. Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
