Patching

[Stringer]

I'm now trying to patch my Xorg, but it seems harder than it sounds.

All i know for the moment is to use:
cd /usr/src
patch < pathtopatch.patch


But then it stops for me, since i don't know which one of the files i need to choose.
Ex /usr/local/lib/portstopatch, /usr/sbin/portstopatch.

If any additional information is needed, i will post them asap.

Xorg is not in the base system, so patching in /usr/src (the source tree for the base system) would be weird. What information are you working from?

[SirDice]

What exactly are you trying to do?

@SirDice trying to fix a bug
I got that part. That's what one usually does with a patch :OOO

What bug? What patch? According to whom?


record: RECORD extension enabled at configure time.

Ignore it. It's disabled because it doesn't work and you probably don't need it anyway.


Now, what exactly is the problem?

If the warning annoys you, add this to xorg.conf:


Section "Module"
Disable "record"
EndSection

@SirDice
Well it seems like when i have a .xinitrc with startfluxbox it wont start, although i did set to support gnome support, could it be that it doesn't find gnome and needs it?
Also apologize for not posting this in Xorg section. :\

[wblock@]

Probably best to start a new thread with a more relevant title for the fluxbox problem.
