Attached is a patch which adds a detour for mips systems when detecting and setting up X. Most of our stuff is hardcoded into the config file(s) and defaults to sane values, so no autodetection is needed.
Created attachment 91222 [details, diff] Add detour for mips systems in setting up X
Also need changing of the dependency on hwsetup to be conditional on mips: Change this: RDEPEND="sys-apps/hwsetup" to this: RDEPEND="!mips? ( sys-apps/hwsetup )"
Almost forgot -- all of this is for 0.9.4. We need that stabilized for mips too.
Fixed in 0.9.5 which I'll mark stable in the snapshot for 2006.1
