I looked at this tool. It allows me to patch the bios table w/ resolution and bpp value - but not with the rest of the mode line timings. How can I change that? It seems, that you can't. All the Linux-stuff is using the BIOS to switch modes. Also see this page: http://intellinuxgraphics.org/documentation.html Question: Is the BIOS still used for mode setting? Answer Yes, the direct mode setting work isn't finished yet, and therefore the released driver still uses the system BIOS to select and set the graphics mode. There is an experimental version of the direct mode setting driver available via git: You're free to give it a try; it's published on the mode setting branch in the xf86-video-intel git repository.

[gentoo-user] xorg can't work with hotplugged mice?
Hi all, from time to time I remove mice and plug them in, as I move my laptop around locations. Sometimes I also start my laptop without a mouse plugged in, and then plug one in after boot. But every time I do so, X doesn't recognise the new mouse. I have /dev/input/mouse[0-3] set up in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. I have to either restart X, or (this is interesting): switch to a console, unplug then replug the mouse, then switch back to X, and allofasudden the mouse works again. I can't use the generic /dev/input/mice, (the one-for-all device) because I have a synaptic driver for the touchpad (/dev/input/mouse1), and auto for any other mouse plugged in (/dev/input/mouse2). Now, the fact that switching to a console and re-plugging the mouse works is strange - this tells me that X can do it without restarting, but I don't know how to make it recognise the mouse... I can't (and don't want to) use custom udev rules for two reasons: 1. I want to plug in any mouse and have it used straight away as /dev/input/mouse2 2. This is such a simple problem, and udev seems like such a complicated solution :) And lastly, if I have X running with a working usb mouse (/dev/input/mouse2), and then unplug the mouse, then /dev/input/mouse2 stays there. Until I restart X or switch to a console and back (then it disappears)... strange!! does _anyone_ reading use X and _not_ the /dev/input/mice device?

Please note Willie, I am not the original poster. I jumped in here because I wrote the script that the OP is asking about, and I agree the current stable version is long outdated. That said, I _do_ realize that the OP was asking a flawed question. I was simply responding to Alexander: Why do you think, that a different version should be offered, when you emerge dir2ogg?. If he means why should portage automatically go grab the newest upstream version, then I agree with his implication: it shouldn't. That's not what he wrote though. The wording of his comment reads like he is asking why portage should offer a more current version of the software, which is the source of my confusion. I don't think that anyone here will argue that the software in portage should stagnate on versions years out of date.

Re: [gentoo-user] SMTP Authentication
What does SMTP auth have to do with dovecot or courier imap? What authentication packages are you using? I see one qmail - why qmail? I have tremendous success with postfix, and it's a little more modern, with less patches. I don't know much about dovecot, but Courier is a kmore familiar matter to me. I used it until I figured out how to use Cyrus. Cyrus is a vast improvement over Courier, IMNSHO. My buddy says that dovecot is superior to both. Whatever. So, what is the underlying authentication datastore?

Thanks, / Ronald Vincent Vazquez now, this seems very different. Above is SMTP auth - yours seems to be IMAP or POP auth problems. Which is it? Is it just that you cannot send mail? or you can't get it either? Hello everyone: Please add me to the list of folks who are unable to authenticate smtp.

What I have done in order to be able to send mail is to use my ISP's smtp server but I see how some folks wouldn't want their ISP's servers to be present in their email headers. Are you using qmail as well? If so, why qmail? SASL is a bitch at first, it always is. It usually pays to return to the configuration with a fine tooth comb, a fresh mind and lots of patience. I ahve configured many SASL based services, and I usually use Kerberos (GSSAPI) as well, so it's non-trivial. Please post a little more info about each of your specific configurations, because there isn't enough info here to shake a stick at. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
