Post subject: Gentoo-ppc: heads-up on xorg-6.7.0-r2

When I changed from xfree86 to xorg today i stumbled on a problem. When i started X i
could't use my Alt-Gr key to get the [ @ £ $ ] symbols, really a pain in the arse.

Well there is a sollution.

When i checked the log there was some errors, xorg couldn't write to

Code:

/var/tmp

To solve this you can do two things:

1. The safe way: (recommenden by the Gentoo manual for handling /tmp and /var/tmp)

Code:

chmod 1777 /var/tmp

2. The unsafe way:

Code:

chmod 777 -R /var/tmp
