The main reason is that I am having some problems with xfree4.1.0 locking up on with my radeon card (on startx it just locks up and sends the monitor into power save mode) unless I use the "noaccel" option which is horribly slow and I don't get DRI with that. I have searched the xfree mailing lists and found a small hand patch which might fix it, but rather than downloading it manually (the xfree source) I'd rather use emerge. However to be able to do this on other packages (modifying the source before emerge builds) would be useful. Also is there anyone else having a Radeon problem with xfree? Thanks Chris
