[gentoo-user] AMD licenses Arm technologies
Well, it's official. AMD is to build a variety of ARM based systems. TI, AMD and others are to work on the MALI video core, in an open source venue. http://www.techspot.com/news/48984-hsa-foundation-announced-amd-licenses-arm-technology.html It also appears that Intel is not alone in embedding a processor within a processor under the guise of enhanced security: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/06/amd-to-add-arm-processors-to-boost-chip-security/ No matter how you slice it, it looks as if the ARM processor will become front and center within gentoo? (???) ;-) James

I don't have pulseaudio and my device doesn't appear as a separate device. What I really can't get is why arecord -L shows me info about speakers when it's supposed to show only capture devices. Also, could someone please give me an example of arecord usage to capture from a (non-default) device named 2,0 in vlc. (I *did* read the man page but it's still a bit unclear) Thanks for your help, Ezequiel.
[gentoo-user] Nvidia-drivers + kernel 3.4
I haven't seen any mention of the problem here, but after installing Kernel 3.4 , Nvidia-drivers 295.49 wouldn't compile. The solution (via Google + Launchpad bugzilla) is to copy 4 header files from /usr/src/linux/arch/arm/include/asm to -/-/-/-/x86/include/asm : system.h compiler.h system_info.h system_misc.h . Also the Ethernet kernel config lines have changed a bit I had to ask explicitly for my mobo's version with 'r8169'.
