I had a negative enough experience that I uninstalled Fedora and installed Debian for its XFree86. But I had already been tangling with XOrg compatibility and ATI's crappy drivers for months, so it was just the straw that broke the camel's back.
I'm going to stay away from XOrg for quite some time now, until it's either the default for everything I need or I have a lot of time to spend tweaking things.
Sorry to be discouraging. Let me know what you find.

hi,
i just reinstalled my system and thus got my first xorg x11 (as opposed to xfree86 x11) running. everything went quite smooth (for gentoo circumstances) yet when testing my standard pd libs i had a hard crash as soon as i opened a gem window - everything frozen. opengl (nvidia) works and 2d-acceleration is also fine.
does anybody else have positive or negative experiences with xorg x11 + gem? especially on gentoo.
