 |
|
Hello.
To recognize properly my video card (an i810 from a Dell laptop) I need to patch XFree.
How could I do that while staying in Gentoo spirit ? Is it possible to download source from emerge, patch and then compile ?
And if I want to install it from an other source (let's say I get the source from xfree.org and patch it) how can I install kde and so on without making emerge install again xfree and clash with mine ?
Thank you...

you could edit the xfree ebuild and add there a statement to patch the extracted source with your patch, just bevore compiling.
or you could do: | Code: | ebuild /usr/portage/x11-base/xfree/xfree-4.3.0-r2 unpack
....apply the patch....
ebuild /usr/portage/x11-base/xfree/xfree-4.3.0-r2 compile preinst install postinst clean |
