Install XOrg7

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/X11
  • rm /usr/include/X11
  • rm /usr/lib/X11
  • rm /usr/include/GL

installing X11R7

is now as simple as:
lin XOrg7

notes

XOrg7 is installing default in /usr. So not in /usr/X11R6 or anything like that. This follows new standards set by Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (fhs: http://www.pathname.com/fhs). If you browse around on the internet you will see that all major linux distro's have followed this standard. http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2006/04/msg00010.html, http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg7, http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Modular_Xorg
