Just a reminder, x11-misc/ttmkfdir has been moved to x11-apps/ttmkfdir in portage and needs to be updated in your ebuild.

Thanks again for your good work.

Fixed! I also took a new snapshot and removed some upstream applied patches.

rampage7: Try turning on RenderAccel, it should speed up antialiasing on fonts a lot.

BTW, I was talking of Nvidia driver with Renderaccel enabled.

I've RenderAccel turned on.

I've returned to the old good 6.8.99.15 to make sure that is only xorg fault.
Two different versions of xorg (6.8.99.15 and the same xorg.conf, the same kde, the same nvidia driver version (8174). Always the same aa method - subpixel RGB. The difference in speed can be noticed at first glance.

@rampage7

Have you read what I said? This is expected behaviour...

so my fast xorg 6.8.99.15 antialiases fonts not with rgb, but with grey?

If you look closely, you should see the difference.

@nxsty: Could you please change the really-big-font-title of your first post to RC4?

rampage7 · Post by **rampage7** » Thu Dec 15, 2005 2:44 pm

so it seems to be true - xorg 7.8.99.15 have broken subpixel RGB font antialiasing, but only in qt/kde apps.

There are some screenshots using xorg 6.8.99.15, RGB AA is enabled in kde control center:

First one from Konqueror, and the second one from Firefox

update:
I've emerged the new xorg-x11-6.9_pre20051215 and it is using rgb subpixel aa in qt/kde apps. Look at this new screenshot from Konqueror.

@PrakashP
Thanks - now all is clear

so far this ebuild worked without problems for me

i use gnome-settings-daemon to set my fonts and
such, and use ion3 as window manager.

oh, and i have an nvidia card.

uhh why am I getting a security violation when I emerge this latest version? It says that pr1752.patch is not in the manifest.

Gabrys · Post by **Gabrys** » Thu Dec 15, 2005 5:55 pm

You got something in your make.conf that checks every file in Manifest files. I've read about it somewhere here.

jarealist · Post by **jarealist** » Thu Dec 15, 2005 6:01 pm

nxsty,

Is your latest update suppose to be using "XBASE_VER="6.8.99.904" instead of XBASE_VER="6.8.99.903"?

Edit: Sorry, I see what you did. Just got a little confused when I looked at the ebuild.

It seems to have changed a little after sync.

Code: Select all

Try deleting the xorg-x11 dir and unpack it again. The Manifest file should be in order, I just checked.

The rc4 tarball wasn't available when I did the snapshot so it's rc3 + cvs. But the cvs update is only 200kb so it doesn't matter much. The next snapshot will be based on rc4.

I get this while emerging xorg from this overlay. My fontconfig is from cvs (throught fludportage) in order to get the latest speed improvements in that package. I think it could be because of that...

StringCheesian · Post by **StringCheesian** » Fri Dec 16, 2005 11:18 am

Darn, I'm already using modular. Is there any simple way I can get these patches for modular (so I don't have to recompile as much)?

yes, the problem was fontconfig from cvs. Using a stable fontconfig makes that last overlay to compile without problems.

krigav · Post by **krigav** » Fri Dec 16, 2005 5:47 pm

Emerged today. It works without problems so far (gcc 3.4.4, glibc 2.3.5-r2). But I can't see any speed improvment so far. I've to emerge kde, maybe than it will be more obviously. Thank you.

Hi. I am trying to install the modular X.

Code: Select all

david david # emerge --search xorg-x11
Searching...
[ Results for search key : xorg-x11 ]
[ Applications found : 1 ]

*  x11-base/xorg-x11

But when I try to emerge it I get:

Code: Select all

david david # emerge --pretend xorg-x11

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies -
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy ">=x11-apps/ttmkfdir-3.0.9-r2".

So, it cant find that ebuild, however I can find a newer version of the missing ebuild:

david david # emerge --search ttmkfdir
Searching...
[ Results for search key : ttmkfdir ]
[ Applications found : 1 ]

* x11-misc/ttmkfdir

So, how do I get Xorg to accept the newer r3 dependence, or how do I find the link to the older dependency. I know this is kind of noobie, but I quite new to this stuff.

Thanks

PS, the reason I'm doing all this is to updage my ati-drivers... http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-41 ... ight-.html

David_Velden2:

This is the monolithic X, not the modular.

Anyway sync and try again, ttmkfdir has been moved to x11-apps.

If you read back a few posts, you'll see

Just a reminder, x11-misc/ttmkfdir has been moved to x11-apps/ttmkfdir in portage

So just emerge sync and it should fix itself in portage.

I guess you are talking about the compose cache patch? It shouldn't be to hard to break it up and apply to the various parts of modular X. I'll look into that when I migrate myself.

Hopefully no rush on the migration. Dont really wanna waste my time managing 90+ packages when everything works fine now. Nice to be able to have a monolithic ebuild and someone supporting it. BTW, thanks for your work on this.

Ok, so now I've updated to xorg-x11 6.9. When I started my X it was in 640x480 instead of the usual 1280x1024, So I've made a new xorg.conf using xorgconfig. But no luck. I can't change the resolution after my update. How can I help this?
