Well, the issue with the 3D seemed to be that that the xorg-server-1.4.906 release wasn’t quite good enough any more, and that I needed xorg-server from git. This of course means dependencies on other git libraries as well as re-compile all the x11-drivers … woohoo for me. But the plus side to all [...]
I had a strange issue last night. After updating a few X11 packages from git, I rebooted and everything seemed to work fine. I then shutdown and went over to a buddies, booted up only to see X was locking up my session. I would get a blank screen, and then the [...]

I’ve looked at a few software packages. Played with [...]

Unbelievable. This sort of thing erks me so bad. There are people in the IT business that give all of us a bad name. The ones that understand the issues top to bottom, enjoy what they do, and bend over [...]
