Hi Adam.
Thanks for your help.
I read that document a while ago.
It says I need :
1) gentoo-sources 2.6.29 + : I'm ok, my version is 2.6.29-r5
2) xorg-server 1.6+ : here I'm too old. I have 1.5.3-r6. however, emerge
says that 1.5.3-r6 is the latest available....
3) xf86-video-intel 2.6.1+: I have 2.6.3-r1.
Do you think it wold be a good idea to upgrade xorg, even if emerge says
I've the latest available version?
Thank you,
Massimiliano
