I prefer Bitstream Vera Mono for this (or DejaVu which is a fork of the same font). It looks good at small sizes down to 7 and I can easily tell the difference between i,I,1,l and 0,O. It has an actual bold font variant so there's none of that double-print-one-pixel to the right nonsense which looks awful. Andale is also not too bad, emerge corefonts to get it. It's not my first choice as the glyphs are shorter than Vera with big gaps between lines of text which looks a little odd and i and 1 are easily confused.

[gentoo-user] how to bring down the sync range of your monitor?
I find my monitor work correctly in the 85Hz(the character is vague).And in windows,I set the sync range to 75Hz and then it's OK. But how to bring down the sync range to 75Hz in gentoo? Now in my xorg.conf: HorizSync 31.5 - 57.0 VertRefresh 50-90 Even I change them to 20 - 40(HorizSync) and 30 - 60(VertRefresh),the frequency is still 85Hz.

Tonight I had a similar crash which I've appended to the bug report: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159294 Maybe it's just the time of year with the holidays, etc? I don't know.

[gentoo-user] MySQL5 and Innodb not working
Hello, I'm using Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14 on a x86_64 Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.66GHz. I've added dev-db/mysql innodb berkdb to my package.use then I've run emerge -1 dev-db/mysql. I've installed PHPMyAdmin that is up and running (MySQL 5.0.26). When I try to create a Innodb table, I get an error : #2013 - Lost connection to MySQL server during query After that, I cannot stop or start my MySQL server. Everything seems to be corrupted, and all I can do is to erase all the content of /var/lib/mysql and restart from scratch. Has anyone heard of problems with MySQL/InnoDB/Gentoo?

Re: [gentoo-user] how to bring down the sync range of your monitor?

But how to bring down the sync range to 75Hz in gentoo? the monitor frequency you see in windows is VertRefresh from xorg.conf. You don't have to specify a range, you can also give a discrete value. Now in my xorg.conf: HorizSync 31.5 - 57.0 VertRefresh 50-90 Even I change them to 20 - 40(HorizSync) and 30 - 60(VertRefresh),the frequency is still 85Hz. be careful just randomly changing these values - you can sometimes to bad things to your monitor. To stop this, X probes your monitor (if it supports EDID) to get the refresh and sync values it can display, and it won't let you set the value outside this. I would troll through /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see if you can see anything interesting about EDID or sync, etc. HTH! -- Iain Buchanan iaindb at netspace dot net dot au We question most of the mantras around here periodically, in case you hadn't noticed. :-) -- Larry Wall in [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] MySQL5 and Innodb not working
Thomas Balthazar wrote: Hello, I'm using Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14 on a x86_64 Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.66GHz. I've added dev-db/mysql innodb berkdb to my package.use then I've run emerge -1 dev-db/mysql. I've installed PHPMyAdmin that is up and running (MySQL 5.0.26). When I try to create a Innodb table, I get an error : #2013 - Lost connection to MySQL server during query After that, I cannot stop or start my MySQL server. Everything seems to be corrupted, and all I can do is to erase all the content of /var/lib/mysql and restart from scratch. Has anyone heard of problems with MySQL/InnoDB/Gentoo? Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance, Thomas. Couple of things on this. This whole community vs enterprise is making things a bit weird at the moment for ebuilds. For Innodb I highly recommend going with the enterprise build, dev-db/mysql which you've already installed, and using the ~arch version of 5.0.32. It fixes a number of high concurrency/multi thread issues in Innodb and I'd move to it sooner rather than later. Have you modified your my.cnf at all? The default Innodb settings are TINY. Assuming you have at least a 1 GB of RAM in you machine I'd bump the following setting up so that you can fit real tables into Innodb. #innodb_buffer_pool_size = 16M innodb_buffer_pool_size = 128M Innodb buffers and general Mysql buffers like key, sort, etc are managed separately. If you're starting to migrate things into Innodb from Myisam you might need to decrease some of the current buffers if you've got limit RAM. The Gentoo Mysql startup script is a bit retarded when starting Mysql with Innodb tables turned on the first time, at least with large tables and log files. I use two 512M log files in production and the startup script fails though Mysql is actually running, it's just pausing to write the log files and initial ibdata files out. In your case I'd start and stop Mysql a few times before trying to create an Innodb table just to be sure that Mysql is finished with all the file writes. I suspect the issues is Innodb not having enough memory assigned to it rather than the binary being borked. You might also try creating a simpler table in Innodb and see if you have the same issues. I'd also recommend adding the setting, innodb_file_per_table, so that each table gets it's own ibdata file in the form of lib/mysql/$db/$table.idb. It performs better and it is a bit easier to tell how big your db is on disk or which db is using all your disk. kashani -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Gaim upgrade problem
Hi List! I'm having a little problem with package masking that I just can't seem to wrap my head around. See, I emerged the Gaim 2 beta by unmasking it through /etc/portage/package.keywords, and all went fine, until gaim-2.0.0_beta5-r3 came along, which requires a ~x86 dbus, which I don't want (for a variety of obvious reasons). So I thought to continue running with gaim-2.0.0_beta5-r2, which is still in portage. In order to keep `emerge -Duva world' working, I wanted to mask gaim-2.0.0_beta5-r3, though, but there's where my problem is. I've added `net-im/gaim-2.0.0_beta5-r3' to /etc/portage/package.mask, but nothing changes. `emerge gaim' still wishes to emerge gaim-2.0.0_beta5-r3, and `emerge -Duva world' fails since it cannot build a depgraph including gaim-2.0.0_beta5-r3. I've never had any problems with /etc/portage/package.mask in the past -- even now, it's working to mask =net-fs/nfs-utils-1.0.8. Does anyone have any idea why it has no effect on gaim? I thought it might be confused by gaim's version numbers or something, but still it seems to be able to see that gaim-2.0.0_beta5-r3 is newer than gaim-2.0.0_beta5-r2, so that can't be it, right?
