I should have stuck to ReiserFS 3.6 which has worked so well on the old system for over 5 years. But at least I made /boot ext2 as usual.
[gentoo-user] Invitation from Mohamed Hagag
Mohamed Hagag is inviting you to join Resumark.com Post your resume (we can hide it from your boss) and make $1 every time an employer looks at it! Know anyone who is looking for a job? Get paid for inviting them. In today's economy even job search monsters are not enough. We help you find a job by doing something that hasn't been done before: We pay YOU for your resume! Count me in! How this works? Message from the founder of Resumark: Greetings! We've been working hard on this website to help people find jobs in this economy. We don't think it is fair for other websites to capitalize on people's resumes so we came up with an idea to share the money that employers pay for resumes with those who are looking for jobs. Doesn't this sound like the right thing to do? We appeal to you - please help us spread the word to others who can benefit from this website! Thank you!

I have the entire input section of xorg.conf commented out and evdev seems to be the default input driver now. I'll bet xdm is hiding the really helpful error messages, so I would shut off xdm and use startx to see if you get any better information.

Working on it ;-) Hmm... that'd certainly complicate it... since mine bypasses any auth of the user ;) Played around with it, then decided to turn it off again. Shut down the system yesterday. Now I booted up again, expecting the same problems to persist and you know what? gdm showed up OK for the first time since I went to ~x86. Logged in and everything works OK as it did back then with stable x86. I don't *know* what the problem was (or is?) but it works for now. The only tiny issue is that the battery-applet of gnome doesn't use the correct icon ... but that doesn't matter much to me now. Thanks for your suggestions anyway, Stefan Anytime, and glad to hear that you're back up and working happily again! :) -- Poison [BLX] Joshua M. Murphy

Thanks, I'll check for dependencies and then remove them. Otherwise, I've downgraded xkbcomp with no joy and now I am downgrading xorg-server to see if this has any effect. I'm struggling to understand all the keyboard stuff too. Do you still use an xorg.conf file? If you are using evdev then you should not be using the xf86-input-mouse or xf86-input-keyboard drivers, just the xf86-input-evdev driver. I have the entire input section of xorg.conf commented out and evdev seems to be the default input driver now. I have had mouse, keyboard and synaptics along with evdev in my INPUT_DEVICES and have emerged relative drivers. I am now going to remove them and see what gives. I am not clear which /etc/hal/fdi/policy/* files I should have in there ... any ideas? I'll bet xdm is hiding the really helpful error messages, so I would shut off xdm and use startx to see if you get any better information. Thanks, will try that too. -- Regards, Mick

That depends on what hardware you have -- a lot of the stuff that once went into xorg.conf can be put in an fdi file now. Here is an example: I have an unusual mouse with four buttons and no wheel, and I use one extra button to simulate a mouse wheel: $cat /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-x11-logitech.fdi ?xml version=1.0 encoding=ISO-8859-1? deviceinfo version=0.2 device match key=info.product contains=ImExPS/2 merge key=input.x11_options.EmulateWheel type=stringtrue/merge merge key=input.x11_options.EmulateWheelButton type=string8/merge /match /device /deviceinfo The two lines with input.x11_options used to be in my xorg.conf in the Input section. Those lines do the same thing now that I've moved them into an fdi file.

So far, the fans is the only thing that i have had trouble with. Bearings fail after a while. I did have a power supply to go out but that was because the fan stopped working.

Do a emerge -epv world and see if you see any changes there. It may be a USE flag change or it may be something else that you notice. It's just a pretend so it shouldn't take but a few minutes.

[gentoo-user] emerge is loosing memory?
Hi, it seems, something has screwed up my system. The symptoms are: Updateing a certain package with emerge (which successfully compile and install that package) has no effect. Next time exactly the same package is reported again as to be updated. And qsearch reports that my metadatabase has gone with the wind and I have to do a 'w -m' as root, which helps for that moment, but next it is again not present. I think (read:dont know for sure) that the eix-sync emerge -pv --verbose --update --deep world has killed it. Unfortunately I am not that deeply involved in the internal data handling of the gentoo package manager to have an idea what is going wrong here. What can I do to fix this problem ? Kind regards and have a nice weekend! mcc -- Please don't send me any Word- or Powerpoint-Attachments unless it's absolutely neccessary. - Send simply Text.
