I'm sorry to open such a thread again, but I found 2 topics regarding this issue here. It appears that one of them ("remove xorg-server to emerge nvidia-glx <=Normal?") had a solution but it was posted on a site (http://rafb.net/paste/results/HPsvCD94.html) which deletes the messages a few days after they are published. So let me get to the point. System: Athlon-XP 1700+ CPU, Epox mobo with NForce chipset and Nvidia GeForce4 MX440 Graphics card. Arch = "x86" X Window System Version 6.8.2 Release Date: 9 February 2005 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.8.2 Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.16-ck12 i686 [ELF] Purpose: I want to upgrade my X so I would be able to run Xgl & Compiz. Tried so far: I believe 7.0.* is the right version for my case. I've tried to put the mask shown on the official Gentoo site about "migrating to mudular X". Unfortunately for me that mask pulls version 7.1. Then I put "<=7.1" in package.mask which led to lots of unresolved deps. After playing with masks & versions the whole weekend I gave up ;-( Please, help me start running Xgl & Compiz on system with GeForce video. -- Best regards, Daniel -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
