8-12 (that is, release 8.561, that is, version 8.564) worked! A bit more unstable I got a crash after restarting the server. Effectively, I didn't need anything more than picking the 8.552 ebuild (which does not need Xserver 1.5), changing the source file name from 8-11 to 8-12, rebuilding the manifest and emerging. Perhaps it's better to wait for someone more experienced with Linux to send the ebuild. Those who are eager to try 8-12 can follow the same steps. -- Miguel Ramos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GnuPG ID 0xA006A14C
