Re: [gentoo-user] Xgl and direct rendering or 'Would you like Xorg or Xgl, sir?'
As far as I can see there is no chance neither to get my Radeon to cooperate with open source driver nor to turn on AIGLX with my fglrx, at least at the moment of writing. It's a pity, but allow me then to return to the secondary topic of this thread. Is it possible to enable some kind of a chooser which would allow me to choose whether I'd like to launch Xgl or Xorg? While working on my /usr/share/gdm/default.conf I've spotted a server called 'chooser'. Could you tell me what is this server doing and could it be a solution for my problem? Of course the choice doesn't have to be done in GDM. It could be a tiny bash script or a simple C++ application run in the default runlevel which would ask me for pressing a specific key to run Xorg - otherwise it will run Xgl - for example changing the line 0=Standard in the file I've mentioned above. Have you got ideas or do I have to write such an app by myself?

Re: [gentoo-user] xorg-server and ati-drivers 'bussiness'
I'm having the same problems. ati-drivers insists on using X.org-7.1.0.0 or earlier, obviously because the drivers were compiled against that version. I don't have the ati-drivers source code so I can't tell if there was an ABI change that the driver enforces, or if ATI simply hardcoded the drivers to fail. I'm betting on the latter In either case the solution would appear to be a hard dependency on = X.org-7.1.0.0 in the ebuild.

[gentoo-user] Capture AVI DV, or RAW DV
Hi All, I would like to capture the content of some digital video tapes from a camcorder with a firewire connection onto my PC and burn a DVD with it. Editing would be nice, but not necessary at this stage and I am looking at kdenlive for this purpose (kino requires all of the Gnome libs, which I do not want to install on this machine). Unfortunately, kdenlive does not have a capture ability. I am thinking that there must be some engine-room-command available to do this without all the kino gui and dependencies.

[gentoo-user] Symlinking /usr/portage/distfiles
Hello, My distfiles is getting quite big and I was thinking of symlinking it to another partition (just as a temporary solution until I find the time to re-partition my hard drive). I know I could just delete what I don't use, but I hope to keep them until the planned reinstall of Gentoo, so that I can use at least part of the 1.1 GiB (my bandwith is limited). Can symlinking /usr/portage/distfiles (and even /usr/tmp/portage) to directories on another ext2 partition hurt Portage? Are there any common pitfalls to this procedure? Are the rights on these directories preserved at the next mount or do I also have to edit fstab? Thanks, Vlad -- How's my English? How about my Netiquette?
