|
|
This is very possibly because I'm totally new to the world of Gentoo, but I managed to trudge my way through a basic install and set up users. Now, I'm having difficulty setting up X-org. I have tried:
emerge -pv xorg-drivers
and afterward, I'm informed that "the following USE changes are necessary to proceed:
#required by media-libs/mesa-9.0.1
#required by x11-base/xorg-server-1.13.4[-minimal]
#required by x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics-1.6.2-r1
#required by xorg-drivers (argument)
>=dev-libs/libxm12-2.9.0-r2 python
I'm under the assumption that I've failed to provide the correct USE flags, but I'm obviously missing something in the process. Walk me through this one guys, and I'll hopefully gather what part of the process I'm not getting.

SquidGuy,
Welcome to Gentoo.
You get a good default set of USE flags bu setting the right profile. Play with
You should choose a profile ending in /dektop, or desktop/kde or /desktop/gnome if you want to use KDE or Gnome.
This may not solve all of your issues.
The message means that to build the packages
Code: | #required by media-libs/mesa-9.0.1
#required by x11-base/xorg-server-1.13.4[-minimal]
#required by x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics-1.6.2-r1
#required by xorg-drivers (argument) |
>=dev-libs/libxm12-2.9.0-r2 python
Using dev-libs/libxm12-2.9.0-r2 or later, that package must be built with python support and its not at the moment.
After you have checked your profile, if this problem persists, than add Code: | >=dev-libs/libxm12-2.9.0-r2 python | to etc/portage/package.use, so that the python USE flag applies to this specific package only.
will tell you all about the files in /etc/portage _________________ Regards,

Thanks so much, the eselect did make a huge difference in the USE flags, setting me up to run into my next set of issues. This has been my first non-plug n' play Linux, though, so I'm going to walk myself back through the steps in the handbook before I actually have questions that just RTFM won't fix.
Regards,

SquidGuy,
Changing your profile has changed the USE flags you have selected.
To make them take effect, you need to rebuild the affected packages.
Code: | emerge --sync
emerge -uDNav world | is a good start.
Read the emerge man page to see what those options do. _________________ Regards,
