I did. Read again. (I also needed to add -DGL_GLEXT_LEGACY to compile fgl_glxgears) But the result isn't very good. I have the following behaviour consistently: boot system, X starts fine, I close X on purpose, second time X doesn't start, receives signal 11, third time on starting X my system hangs badly and I have to press the power button for 4 secs. Also, I'm worried that 8-12 does not bring a glx module, so the one from mesa is used. Is this ok? The same thing happens when I install back the 8.552 or 8.552-r1 ebuild. So far, the 8.543 are the only ones fully working for me. 2008/12/11 Volker Armin Hemmann <volker.armin.hemm...@tu-clausthal.de>: > On Donnerstag 11 Dezember 2008, Miguel Ramos wrote: >> But the 8.552-r2 release seems to require all of Xorg to be re-emerged >> with ~amd64... isn't that too much trouble? > > no, why? Well, because if I don't want to put ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" in make.conf, which I'm not too keen on doing (because it affects the whole system), the only way I see it can be done is adding a lot of packages to package.keywords: x11-base/xorg-server ~amd64, etc, etc, etc, etc. I started doing it, but gave up when the list grew a bit too large. I am disapointed by this, because xorg-server has been upgraded to 1.4.2 on FreeBSD for a very long time. What is your way of doing it (using xorg-server-1.5.*) ? And aren't you also using 8-12? Is it working fine for you? What about glx, is the one from mesa also loaded in your case? -- Miguel Ramos <2...@miguel.ramos.name> GnuPG ID 0xA006A14C
