Re: [gentoo-user] MTRR setting? Where could I have put it?
It seems to be appeared on 2.6.28 kernel. But not 2.6.26 kernel. I got both as on my box as the gspca driver for my web camera seems only worked on the 2.6.26 kernel.

Didn't test it but check that.

Err, on this list the point is a little oblique to say the least - since all Linux userland is GNU. regards Mark P.s : As a Freebsd desktop user myself, I can get what Joerg is saying, but for the majority of purely Linux users on this list, the point is probably lost.

Re: [gentoo-user] Awesome vs Xmonad
I am an xmonad user now. I installed awesome once, but didn't try to understand much details of it, so no comment on awesome.

After trying a bit to understand how the configuration script work (about three days in my spare time), I understood how awesome (this one was easy :-p) this wm is. You can do pretty much what you want as the configuration script, which is using the Lua script language, can load system commands (such as conky, even thought I couldn't get it to work, but used native lua scripts with the wicked.lua library) or run native code (I use this to see the disk space, mpd songs, battery life, cpu usage with a graph, ...). Sounds great but when i customize the file and save it in ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua and reload, nothing seems to happen. I am trying to get working with awesome-3.1. Am i missing anything. One of the other things I really like in awesome, it's the fact that you can mix up tiling windows and floating ones. You can define, for certain window titles in the configuration file, the fact that they are floating. Then, when you start them, they appear as floating windows and not tiled as the rest of them. This is pretty much interesting for applications such as Skype, gitk, mplayer, ... As for other tiling wm, you can also assign tags (sort of virtual desktops) to window titles so when you start it, it goes directly there, leaving your actual tag clean with what you were doing. That is a required feature because some stupid programs dont go well with the tiling concept. Another neat feature i found in default xmonad was the fact that there was no gap between adjacent windows. I am sure awesome should be able to do that as well, just that the default conf doesnt. But, then again i really haven't dug in. In xmonad default, the size hint of some programs are ignored. Like terminal staffs, urxvt, xterm, gvim. So sometimes they will leave a half line on the bottom after certain resize action, as of new windows opened. Solved with an HintedTile tiling mod in xmonad-contrib. -- Regards, Man Shankar man.ee.gen(at)gmail.com
Re: [gentoo-user] Strange --depclean / mit-krb5
I think in the configure script of some softwares they will just detect whether certain things are installed even though you turned off the use flag. So you just remove kerberos first, then remerge the packages that are reported to be depending on them.

Did you just recently switch off the kerberos flag? If so try recompiling cups and then those four packages. vorbis-tools depends on curl if you have the ogg123 flag set, and net-misc/curl also has the kerberos flag. So you may need to rebuild the curl package then the vorbis-tools package. I suspect similar things happen for totem and subversion. My guess for subversion is that it depends on neon, which USE kerberos (too lazy to check the ebuild now). Totem I have no idea. I think your emerge -DuN probably have recompiled the cups/neon/curl and what not because of the USE flag change, but since it is a recompile, revdep-rebuild may not have caught the changing libs and now you need to rebuild these seven packages.
