[gentoo-user] Decoding the mouse

Just out of curiousity, is there a way to determine previous system uptime. I know I was getting close to 11 months, which would be a record for me. Too late now, but installing app-misc/uptimed will answer this question in the future.

[gentoo-user] Re: glx dri fail to load for nv

I think it's because the glx and dri modules are failing to load, and I think that's because I'm missing a kernel option or two. Can anyone tell me what I might be missing in the kernel for an Nvidia card? BTW, the proprietary nvidia driver works great but I'd like to get nv working too. A bit off-topic, but nv is dead upstream (NVidia dropped it). You might want to look into the Nouveau open source driver if you have hardware supported by it (it even supports 3D): http://nouveau.freedesktop.org It's better than the crappy nv driver by orders of magnitude.
