If you can't make it work I'll post more details tomorrow. Hi, thanks for your reply, walt! :) What I found based on your mail are patches against different nvidia-drivers and different kernel version than I am using to get this running... I tried the symlink include/linux - include/uapi/linux mentioned here: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/525935/linux/please-update-310-xx-drivers-for-linux-3-7-3-8-compatibility/2/ after the kernel was build, but ths doesnt help. I can think of two (obnoxious) things I would try next: first, install both versions of the kernel sources and then use diff -r to find all the changes in the 'include' subdirectory (that's always where nvidia trips over its own feet) then look for the ones that nividia uses to find the kernel version. Second, I usually add 'set -x' near the top of the 'conftest.sh' script that nvidia uses to find the kernel version, which results in a lot of debugging info to be printed when the installer runs. I edit the script in /var/tmp/portage/xorg-drivers/nvidia-xxx/kernel/ after the installer dies and then just type 'make module install' (which normally will do what you want if/when the installer isn't broken).

[gentoo-user] Fonts (Ariel?) broken in acroread
I don't know when exactly, but sometime in the past 6 months or so, font support in acroread got broken. Most of the PDF documents generated by MS Office don't render correctly. I think the most common font that doesn't render properly is Ariel. Acroread didn't used to have any problems with these documents, and viewing them with out applications seems to work OK. What gets rendered for Ariel is a _very_ ugly, very light, sans serif font where lower-case letters are about 1/3 the height of upper case letters. It's really horrid. Here's comparison of some text rendered by acroread (left) and emacs (right): http://www.panix.com/~grante/acroread-vs-emacs.png Acroread _used_ to render this document correctly.

Re: [gentoo-user] rtorrent
Do you mind pointing out /why/ it's the `Best d/l utility on the
market'? OP is currently using rtorrent and he has an issue with
colouring. Even if you feel like he might benefit from another client, a
justification should be in place. I have looked at aria2 web page and it
says:
Lightweight. aria2 doesn’t require much memory and CPU time. The
physical memory usage is typically 4MiB (normal HTTP/FTP downloads) to
9MiB (BitTorrent downloads). CPU usage in BitTorrent with download speed
of 2.8MiB/sec is around 6%.
Fully Featured BitTorrent Client. All features you want in BitTorrent
client are available: DHT, PEX, Encryption, Magnet URI, Web-Seeding,
Selective Downloads and Local Peer Discovery.
I'm sorry but that's hardly worth switching to. I have just short of
1 active torrents in my rtorrent and it uses 750MB of memory and 0.7
to 1.2% CPU (Core 2 Duo). It hardly looks like aria can beat that so
it's clearly not the performance you're advertising.
As an rtorrent user, I'm genuinely interested why would one ever
consider switching to aria at all, especially as OP hasn't complained
about lack of any features that aria might have or do better.
Thanks
