]]>I tried to compile xorg using that pkgbuild (it fetches the sources from cvs), but I couldn't make it work
]]>It is slow as hell here, with RenderAccel and without I get the same result, I got the feeling I might have missed something. I'm using a P3 450 with a TNT2. Is it supposed to be this slow?
mmm, I think so
]]>Anyway, a few building tips, I had to do a couple of things in order to get it to compile:
1. pacman -S flex
2. Add /usr/lib/libfakeroot to your /etc/ld.so.conf (and then run ldconfig) if you are using fakeroot and have yet to do so.
As for getting it to run, add the Extensions section as described, and also change the Driver "Keyboard" in your keyboard section to Driver "kbd".
Since using the effects was very slow and not practical, I'm back to the stable xorg. But if someone has any ideas as to what caused the slowdown and how to fix it, I'll be glad to hear.
