[gentoo-user] Cannot configure Synaptics Touchpad - Disabling Tapping synclient
Hello. I'm having a hell of a time configuring my Synaptics Touchpad. Basically, I'd like to disable the annoying tapping feature; with tapping, they mean, that the user shortly hits (taps) the touchpad and this is then interpreted as a click. This annoys the hell out of me, as I accidently tap the touchpad when I type something and as a result, I continue to type at the wrong location. Anyway, enough of the whining - I'd like to disable tapping... On various places on the internet, like http://linux-on-laptops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=112 or http://copland.udel.edu/~doke/dell_d810/, I found, that it should be good enough, to add Option MaxTapTime0 to the Section InputDevice in the xorg.conf file. As you can see in my xorg.conf file at http://askwar.pastebin.ca/453131, I did that. Nonetheless, I'm sadly still able to use that annoying tapping feature :( As this did not work, I tried to use graphical configuration tools like gsynaptics, ksynaptics or synclient to access the touchpad. All of these tools require, that Option SHMConfig on is added to the xorg.conf. Instead of on, I also tried true, 1 and yes. None of these work - all the time, when I run one of the aforementioned tools, I get an error message, stating something reg. SHMConfig. For synclient, it is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ synclient -m 20 Can't access shared memory area. SHMConfig disabled?

[gentoo-user] Backing up my box
I've got an 8Gb Gentoo virtual machine that I'm working out a backup plan for. Since the disk space is pretty small, I'm thinking about just taking a full image of the disk for backups, rather than cherry-picking DBs, mail, etc. I'd like to take a full image every day (but only transfer the differences), which I'll store for a week. Does this sound like a reasonable enough approach? My initial thoughts were just to use rsync to grab everything. Would this be appropriate for this kind of backup? Is there a better tool to get the job done? Any suggestions appreciated, Mark pgpiK8jSvFEMX.pgp Description: PGP signature

Basically, I'd like to disable the annoying tapping feature; with tapping, they mean, that the user shortly hits (taps) the touchpad and this is then interpreted as a click. This annoys the hell out of me, as I accidently tap the touchpad when I type something and as a result, I continue to type at the wrong location. Anyway, enough of the whining - I'd like to disable tapping... On various places on the internet, like http://linux-on-laptops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=112 or http://copland.udel.edu/~doke/dell_d810/, I found, that it should be good enough, to add Option MaxTapTime0 to the Section InputDevice in the xorg.conf file. As you can see in my xorg.conf file at http://askwar.pastebin.ca/453131, I did that. Nonetheless, I'm sadly still able to use that annoying tapping feature :( From askwar.pastebin.ca/453131: Section ServerLayout [SNIP] InputDeviceMaus CorePointer #InputDeviceSynaptics AlwaysCore # InputDeviceMausAlwaysCore # InputDeviceSynaptics CorePointer [SNIP] Section Module [SNIP] # Load synaptics Which shows that both the loading of the synaptics driver and the synaptics inputdevice under serverlayout are commented. Not sure if this is just a mistake in what you pasted or if it's the actual cause... A MaxTapTime of 0 does work for me. From `man synaptics` : TouchpadOff (Integer) Switch off the touchpad. Valid values are: [...] 2 Only tapping and scrolling is switched off Sounds like that too is what you want. Also I'm wondering why you would use the synaptics driver at all if you don't want any of it's features. At least on my laptop the ordinary mouse driver works fine for the touchpad if it wasn't for the fact that I do want those features.. ;) Finally just to be absolutely certain that you're editing the right config file.. # grep Using config /var/log/Xorg.0.log -- Bo Andresen signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Re: [gentoo-user] NFS vs. jumbo frames
Hi kashani, on Monday, 2007-04-23 at 11:11:40, you wrote: It sounds like Gigabit Ethernet to me. Yes, that's it. Keep in mind that not all fastE or gigE switches support jumbo frames. Additionally not all cards support jumbo frames either though you can certainly set them to an MTU of 9000 and watch things break. I had that problem before with the Server's onboard Broadcom chip; fortunately it just breaks completely when you up the MTU :) Now I installed an Intel 82545GM card that officially supports jumbo frames and that I haven't heard anyone complain about. The clients all have the same 82547EI onboard chip. To the original poster, I'd do some googling and verify that all the network cards and switches involved can do jumbo frames and that it is enabled on each device as needed. Check. The switches are HP ProCurve 2824 supporting up to 9216 bytes per frame, and I checked the config several times. Jumbo frames are enabled on all ports, and it's a rather basic config anyway, no VLANs 'n stuff, no voice LAN features, just switching. And for everything else but NFS locking it does work fine. A plain netcat from /dev/zero to /dev/null goes from some 35 MB/s at an MTU of 1500 to over 80, ssh does very well, and even NFS file operations other than locking work. I have googled for quite a while but can't find a thing. Anyone here using NFS and GigE+jumbo frames with Gentoo? cheers! Matthias -- I prefer encrypted and signed messages.

[gentoo-user] OT - Need help fixing my evolution-2.8
Last night I was trying to expunge deleted messages in evolution-2.8 when my keyboard fell off the desk. When I put it back on the desk, every message I select to view gets scrolled down to the bottom of the message. This is very annoying as many of the messages I get are quite long. I have to page up (this usually works). Hitting the Home button freezes up evolution. I'm currently running kernel 2.6.20-gentoo-r6, but when this first happened I was running kernel linux-2.6.19-gentoo-r5. I've tried rebooting with a different kernel, and unplugging and replugging the keyboard, but it hasn't fixed this.

As this system is running a 2005.October snapshot, i want to do an upgrade using almost all binary packages. My approach was something like this.. 1. On a i686 machine generated the binary packages using tips from this list.. 2. Boot into the spare partition and set PKGDIR in make.conf 3. Do a portage sync to 2006.1 and start 'emerge -K' of the packages for the 'system' target 4. For 'bash' the error missing symbol glibc-2.4.3 occurs So thinking that glibc must be emerged first, I restart the whole process (including copying the active partition to the spare one) then emerge glibc as the first package. 5. Almost at the end of the glibc emerge , 'Illegal instruction' errors start appearing...sweet I understand that a stage3 tarball is essentially a binary upgrade. But using this method I thought I could do an incremental upgrade. So what is wrong with this approach ? regards sathish
