Emerge is too cool!

If you have a fresh installed system, run this:
emerge --update --deep --newuse --depclean world

This will update all!

I was just able to emerge kde-meta!!!

It was as simple as:

emerge kde-meta


The advantage of using these utilities is you actually get the build from source.

With other things such as if you have an nVidia Graphics Accelerator, you can emerge the drivers as follows:

I will recommend to build your kernel with all modules so you don't have to play with it to much. If this is a personal WorkStation and you don't want to have to rebuild your kernel all of the time run:

genkernel all

-- If the genkernel complains run:
emerge genkernel


Then install the nvidia-drivers:
emerge nvidia-drivers



** Keep in mind if EVER you upgrade the kernel, or recompile the kernel - YOU WILL HAVE TO REINSTALL THE NVIDIA DRIVERS!!!



Be sure to edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf

vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf

There will be a "nv" listed where nvidia should be, so just overwrite this....

AS WELL, you will want to make sure you load the glz module, and NOT load the dri module in the /etc/x11/xorg.conf:
Section "Module"
  (...)
  # Load  "dri"
  Load  "glx"
  (...)
EndSection


AND you will want to correct the Display in the Screen section:
Section "Screen"
  (...)
  DefaultDepth 16
  Subsection "Display"
  (...)
EndSection


Load the Module:
modprobe nvidia


Make sure X is using the nVidia GLX Lib's:

eselect opengl set nvidia


Add your user to the video group:
gpasswd -a $user video


Then Test:

$ glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: Yes

Need to re-emerge your drivers?

Here's a simple example with a lil upgrading of synaptics::

qlist -I -C x11-drivers

x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev
x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard
x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse
x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics
x11-drivers/xf86-input-vmmouse
x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati
x11-drivers/xf86-video-fbdev
x11-drivers/xf86-video-glint
x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel
x11-drivers/xf86-video-mga
x11-drivers/xf86-video-neomagic
x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv
x11-drivers/xf86-video-openchrome
x11-drivers/xf86-video-savage
x11-drivers/xf86-video-sis
x11-drivers/xf86-video-tdfx
x11-drivers/xf86-video-trident
x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa
x11-drivers/xf86-video-vmware
x11-drivers/xf86-video-voodoo



emerge -C synaptics ; emerge -pv xf86-input-synaptics
cp /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/11-x11-synaptics.fdi /etc/hal/fdi/policy/99-x11-synaptics.fdi


emerge -pv xf86-input-evdev xf86-input-keyboard xf86-input-mouse \
xf86-video-ati xf86-video-fbdev xf86-video-glint xf86-video-mga \
xf86-video-neomagic xf86-video-nv xf86-video-openchrome \
xf86-video-savage xf86-video-sis xf86-video-tdfx xf86-video-trident \
xf86-video-vesa xf86-video-vmware xf86-video-voodoo



This can often be useful if you have updated Gnome with hal support, and have lost the ability to use your mouse or keyboard within X.
