No, I'm not sure. The more I read the more I see different opinions! That's why I'm asking. Remember the goals are: 1) keep executible (binaries) as small as possible 2) use one make.conf on a master system to generate binaries for most old pentiums and the K6(amd) systems My gut tells me that CFLAGS=-Os -march=i586 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer CHOST=i586-pc-linux-gnu is the best choice in this cause. However, my 'gut' is more focused on the 'kiss' principal: (kiss whoever does the cooking and cleans the dishes) aka keep it simple. well, I like your line ;) -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list I like it too!! -march is more specific than -mtune, that means that it takes profit of processor-specific instructions to increase performance, but breaking compatiblity with other processors as a side effect. Since you will be using the same code for different processors you don't want to be *that* specific, so you'll have to stick on the more general -march option. That's my theory, however, there's some dark point: gcc guides usually state that the main difference between -march and -mtune is _backwards_ compatibility, but doesn't say anything about _family_ compatibility. Quoting Gentoo GCC Optimization guide: On x86 and x86-64 CPUs, -march will generate code specifically for that CPU using all its available instruction sets and the correct ABI; it will have no backwards compatibility for older/different CPUs. If you don't need to execute code on anything other than the system you're running Gentoo on, continue to use -march. You should only consider using -mtune when you need to generate code for older CPUs such as i386 and i486. -mtune produces more generic code than -march; though it will tune code for a certain CPU, it doesn't take into account available instruction sets and ABI. Don't use -mcpu on x86 or x86-64 systems, as it is deprecated for those arches. So I guess it depends on how much time you have before your firewalls are production-ready. If you have plenty of time, I'd try -march out and see if no horrible crashes appear; if you don't want to play the crazy-lab-folk role, go for the safer -mtune. My two cents :-).

[gentoo-user] Choppy video playback
Hi,
I'm having choppy video playback in mplayer, vlc and also in Firefox
on YouTube and the like. I notice a video freeze every 1-2 seconds or
so, then the video snaps back to where it should be. The audio sounds
fine. Mplayer often spits out a warning message[1].
I also noticed that typing into forms (like an email in Gmail) in
Firefox, after Firefox has been running a few hours also suffers from
this freeze every 1-2 seconds.
A typical workload is Gnome, Firefox, Claws-Mail, Pidgin, Tomboy,
xmms2 and a bunch of terminals with SSH sessions and irssi.
I have an Intel Core 2 Duo 2GHz with 2 GB of RAM, so this shouldn't be
happening. I'm running kernel 2.6.23-gentoo-r3. I don't remember when
exactly this started, I don't really watch video too often.
Could it be the scheduler with which my kernel is compiled? Currently
it's set to Preemptible Kernel (Low-Latency Desktop).
Any ideas? What to start tweaking with?
Thanks for any help,
Mike
[1] Mplayer warning message:
Your system is too SLOW to play this!
Possible reasons, problems, workarounds:
- Most common: broken/buggy _audio_ driver
- Try -ao sdl or use the OSS emulation of ALSA.
- Experiment with different values for -autosync, 30 is a good start.
- Slow video output
- Try a different -vo driver (-vo help for a list) or try -framedrop!
- Slow CPU
- Don't try to play a big DVD/DivX on a slow CPU! Try some of the lavdopts,
e.g. -vfm ffmpeg -lavdopts lowres=1:fast:skiploopfilter=all.
- Broken file
- Try various combinations of -nobps -ni -forceidx -mc 0.
- Slow media (NFS/SMB mounts, DVD, VCD etc)
- Try -cache 8192.
- Are you using -cache to play a non-interleaved AVI file?
- Try -nocache.

Re: [gentoo-user] switching CPU's -- what strange things do I need?
Well, I'd change my CFLAGS, for sure, so that I'd get all the benefits of
having that better processor. What's your profile: x86 or x86_64 (amd64)?
For your processor, according to http://gentoo-wiki.com/Safe_Cflags (that I
always like to check):
Intel Core 2 Duo/Quad / Xeon 51xx/53xx
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6
model : 15
model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU @ XXXGHz
*32 bit profile (x86)*
CHOST=i686-pc-linux-gnu
CFLAGS=-march=prescott -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer
CXXFLAGS=${CFLAGS}
*64 bit profile (amd64)*
CHOST=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
CFLAGS=-march=nocona -O2 -pipe
CXXFLAGS=${CFLAGS}
*Note:*
- GCC 4.3 has
-march=core2[1]http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc-4.3/changes.html,
but Gentoo has nothing above 4.2 in portage.
So, I'd change my make.conf to one of those (again, depending of your
profile). And after that, even though some things may need a revdep-rebuild
and it may take a while, why not emerge -e world?

Saffi

[gentoo-user] Can't use gnome!
I rebooted into Linux a couple of days ago and tried to log into gnome, and a whole bunch of error messages popped up. They all said basically this: There was an error loading config from /apps/gnome-terminal/global.

I really hate KDE - it's way too flashy, so I'd like to get back to gnome as soon as possible. Over the past two days I've done an emerge -e gnome and rebooted the computer and tried to log in to gnome, and it still doesn't work.
