+1 I've had USE=-gpm in my make.defaults for ages. Always one of the first things I disable. dwfreed checked the CONTENTS files of the mini-install and livedvds and gpm is /not/ started at boot, so it's safe to turn off. I'll do it in a few days if no one beats me to it. Just built stage1-2-3 on amd64 with this change. No problems found. Committed. (In reply to Matt Turner from comment #3) > I'll do it in a few days if no one beats me to it. Nice style announcement. Happy hacking.(In reply to SpanKY from comment #0) > USE=gpm only makes sense when you're using a mouse in a virtual terminal > (e.g. a console system w/out X). once you have X, gpm is pointless. Wrong, chvt and it's usefull again. > i'd wager that very few people use gpm anymore and X is the dominate > interface which means having USE=gpm be on by default is dead weight. Still wrong. (In reply to Michael Weber from comment #6) chill out. one person using gpm still doesn't make it common let alone the majority. unless you can show that >=50% of people use gpm (hell, even know what it is), then you'll have a case for it being re-added. announcing it on gentoo-dev-announce would be nice (if it hasn't been already). (In reply to SpanKY from comment #7) > announcing it on gentoo-dev-announce would be nice (if it hasn't been > already). Based on my quick search through my gentoo-dev and gentoo-dev-announce folders, it has not, so could one of you write something up and post it? |
