Re: [gentoo-user] Flash and Xorg 7.1?

Thanks, Willie I have the same issue. I upgraded gcc to 4.1.x and that has been a mess since I rebooted. I need to rebuild world :-) I get the same flash issue. Simple flash sites work, flash sites with video mostly puke now. I also get display issues with gnome-terminal where all/most of the text becomes invisible until I hit enter and then it is redrawn. I use the binary NVidia driver and thought it was releated to that. However I am currently downgrading x11-libs/libX11, x11-base/xorg-server and x11-base/xorg-x11 and all the installed drivers I have under x11-drivers/*. I hope this will fix me up because right now I cannot get into Gnome.

I hope this will fix me up because right now I cannot get into Gnome. Jim Doing the above got me back in to Gnome. I am now just having an issue with gdm, but that is not a big deal. I am going to do a quick bash script to grep all the environment.bz2 files under /var/db/pkg and see which ones were compiled with gcc 3.4.x so I can recompile with gcc 4.1.x. I don't feel like rebuilding world, it takes too long and I have rebuilt some packages already. I should have heeded the warnings about upgrading gcc :-) Jim -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- You roll an 18 in Dex and see if you don't end up with a girlfriend =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- JimD Central FL, USA, Earth, Sol -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
