AFAIK, mpack is unmaintained, and the last version does not work on

[gentoo-user] Decoding the mouse

2010-05-14 Thread meino . cramer

Hi,

my old mouse died. She became 12 years old...what a young soul... ;)

Today I had to buiy a new one (Logitech MX518,wired). 

This one has a laser a some additional buttons to play with.

General question: Are these buttons free for assigning any function
to them (do they send button 4 on mouse was pressed) or do they
codes which represent a (very small) part of a USB-keyboard (sending 
Page Up of keyboard was presses) and how can I access these
additional buttons?

Thanks a lot for any help in advance!
Best regards,
mcc

A fully patched Vista/Windows7 system might require as much as 7-8+ GB,
which is, what... about .9% of a Terabyte?

I'm not saying that 8GB is not ridiculously high for a core OS install,
of course it is...

Yes, you can access them.  I use the button under the - button to maximize
windows, for example.  I had to manually configure my window manager (Awesome)
for that, though.

On the other hand, Firefox recognizes the arrow buttons on the side and goes
forward and backward in the tab history when I press them, without any conscious
configuration on my part.

The events my mouse sends are (checked via xev):

8:   backward arrow
9:   forward arrow
10:  maximize button

The +/- buttons are not accessible, I believe, since xev doesn't report any
events when I press them.  I guess the mouse handles their events in
hardware/firmware.

 Thanks a lot for any help in advance!

According to the pdfedit website, porting to Qt4 is ongoing but not

 As the rsync command is failing with disk full, files are not being
 deleted. Try adding --delete-before to the options to have old files
 cleaned up before copying new ones.

that's what I thought initially, hence:

 I just deleted a bunch of /var/tmp and distfiles to free up some space,
 and ran the rsync again.  Now it looks like this:
 
 $ df -h
 FilesystemSize  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
 rootfs 92G   81G  6.1G  93% /
 /dev/sdd7  92G   89G  4.6M 100% /media/root-backup
 
 /dev/sda3  99M   39M   55M  42% /boot
 /dev/sdd3  99M   39M   55M  42% /media/boot-backup

So the last rsync didn't fail with disk full - it's got about 3G left
for use by root.

Any other ideas?  thanks,

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

2010-05-14 Thread Grant
I'm seeing tearing from the nv xorg driver.  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.

Too late now, but installing app-misc/uptimed will answer this

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.
