The path to XOrg7
upgrading from XOrg
Currently the XOrg7 module is not doing this for you. You need to do some things manually
- Remove the old XOrg:
-
lrm XOrg
- Backup the old /etc/X11 (with your old xorg.conf):
-
mv /etc/X11 ~/
- Remove the old XOrg installation path:
-
rm -fr /usr/X11R6
- Remove some old symlinks:
rm /usr/X11rm /usr/include/X11rm /usr/lib/X11rm /usr/include/GL
installing X11R7
is now as simple as:
lin XOrg7
