Yeah, this should definatly be a cvs ebuild, as it's changing quickly.

They are snapshot ebuilds for that exact reason. Deps are likely to change and new extensions added. |

| I think I'll just wait till there's some support from my nVidia card in these babies, also pre alpha software for my X server kinda scares me. |

good point.

my nvidia card works fine with their vesa driver. and although pre-alpha it works suprisingly well. I am planning on using this with Xfree on my system as backup.

I think http://freedesktop.org/~keithp/screenshots/screen4.png this explains it all.
I get this error when trying to emerge
| Code: | These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies -
emerge: there are no masked or unmasked ebuilds to satisfy "x11-libs/randr".
!!! Error calculating dependencies. Please correct. |

libxrandr-1.0.1 ebuild:
is
| Code: |
inherit freedesktop
DESCRIPTION="XRandr extension library"
KEYWORDS="~x86"
RDEPEND="x11-libs/libx11
x11-libs/randr"
x11-libs/libxext"
x11-libs/libxrender"
S="${WORKDIR}/${PN/libx/X}" |
should be:
| Code: |
inherit freedesktop
DESCRIPTION="XRandr extension library"
KEYWORDS="~x86"
RDEPEND="x11-libs/libx11
x11-libs/randrext
x11-libs/libxext
x11-libs/libxrender"
S="${WORKDIR}/${PN/libx/X}"

Ok I fixed that problem, now I have a lot of blocked packages because of XFree, how do I install it without screwing those up?

First of all, port001 thanks for pointing us to http://dev.gentoo.org/~spyderous/
Tested
/usr/local/portage/x11-base/xserver-freedesktop #emerge -f xserver-freedesktop-0.1_pre20031114.ebuild
just to be sure all files where in place. Noticed libx11-6.2.1_pre20031114.ebuild seems to be missing package digest file
ebuild libx11-6.2.1_pre20031114.ebuild digest
fixed that (hope it's not a corrupted download...)
EDIT: No big deal really but libxfixes, compositeext and libxcomposite are also missing package digest files. Better add digest to FEATURES in make.conf I guess.
Yeah, what to do with those blocked packages...

Edit the freedesktop eclass.
First, change XDIR="/usr/X11R6/" to XDIR="/usr/local/X11R6/" so your installation isn't overwritten.
Then, remove newrdepend "!x11-base/xfree". |

This looks interesting. I generally like to live dangerously but this time I think I will build this on a seperate testing box....
The only thing I dont like so far is the way you have to start this thing. | Code: | # to start server, try something like...
sudo /opt/fdo/bin/Xvesa :1 & xterm -display :1
# note the -help and -listmodes options
# and the man pages
# in xterm...
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/fdo/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
/opt/fdo/bin/xcompmgr |
Why sudo? I am sure that one of you studs have already found a more automated way of doing this?
I probably wont get this up and running until tomorrow or the next day so....
Thanks for the ebuilds. |

I decided to install them suid so you don't need to use sudo.
As for the rest, take a look at the startxkd script and edit to your pleasure. |

| BTW, for any of you having annoying problems with library symlinks not existing, I just made a change to create them properly. It's in overlay-20031116-3.tar.bz2 and later. |

trying it out now, I'll post my results as soon as it's compiled
Also, how exactly do I invoke this new xserver, or is it automatic? (I did notice something in the ebuild about xinit and some options, is that how?)

I seem to be stuck on the xserver-freedesktop-0.1_pre20031114 package...

Emerged the manager and finally got it up & running.
Nice shadows, is it possible to move windows around ?
EDIT: Well obviously xcompmgr is not the windowmanager
matchbox seems to depend on non-existing "x11-libs/libxsettings-client" |

No need to use matchbox or libxsettings-client. Just use your regular wm, gnome, fluxbox, whatever. |

xinit is around if you installed alongside of xfree instead of removing it. That should work fine, or the startxkd script after being edited to run xcompmgr and your wm, or a custom script. |
