[gentoo-user] New motherboard with good ACPI?
Hi there, I have had this computer case for a while now, its empty and Ive always wanted to make a nice Desktop PC for media and stuff. Of course it will have Gentoo and probably Windows (to start with anyways) but my question: Is there a way to _guarantee_ a motherboard/other component will do suspend to RAM correctly in Linux? I dont really know what processor Id want, probably an AMD Athlon 64 Dual Core or something. Something UBER for sure. ^ ^ Thanks everyone! ~Ian
Re: [gentoo-user] {OT} External hard-drive choice
I like my Vantec Nexstar 3enclosure. Try for one of them, they are cheap, flexible in capacity and nice to look at. Works in Gentoo just as easily as a Jumpdrive. ~Ian On 8/15/06, Willie Wong [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all,I am looking to purchase an external hard-drive for backing up data.I am looking for something that has 250G capacity (preferably around 300G so I have room to grow). My desktop does not have afirewire port, so it is essential that I can use a USB2 connection.(Of course, it is also essential that it works with Gentoo!)What do people recommend? My big question is whether all those fancy OneTouch OneButtonthings offered by Maxtor/Seagate/etc. would impede the harddrive'sfunction on linux. I mean, I don't think whatever software they bundled that allowed them to do One Touch Backups would work inlinux, but I would hope those disks can still be mounted as an usbstorage device. Can someone tell me whether that is the case? Also, since I won't be using all those fancy automatic backupfeatures, I am hoping to just get a bare-boned external harddrive.Unfortunately, I can't seem to find any offered by brands that Iknow (like I mentioend above, Maxtor/Seagate/Buffalo/etc. all have fancy features and cost quite a bit more), do people haverecommendations with that in mind?Thanks in advanceWillie--Pintsize: Hehe, yeah, that does sound like a pretty empty, pointless existence.

If you want a cheap one, a 2.5in one selling in Surpluscomputers costs ~USD7-15 and a 3.5in costs between USD20-50 Plug in a Drive and you're good to go. PS : I bought mine 2 years ago (max limit of 300GB due to PCBA in the casing) for USD25Thanks Ow and Ian, I hadn't thought of the possibility of just buying an external enclosure. That looks like a good way to go. I like it because In a year I can get an evenbigger hard drive and it wont cost as much. Glad to be of help. ~Ian
[gentoo-user] Java apps take longer to load than a... I dont know what.
The subject kind of says it all, really. With the exception of OpenOffice, pretty much every Java app I start can take like 5-7 minutes to LOAD! Once its up it runs totally up to speed, but this is on a 3.2GHz Pentium 4. There should be no excuse for this. :) Im not at home right now so I cantt actually attempt any troubleshooting hints you give me right now, but if you have any general ideas until about 5 hours from now, please reply! ~Ian
Re: [gentoo-user] Video Card of Death! (Yes its on topic.)
It makes me very happy that the open source ones (once they work.) fully support my card. ~Ian On 8/15/06, Mike [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ian Kabeary wrote: Then I realized that the proprietary ATi drivers dont give this card 3d acceleration, which it is totally capable of.

Re: [gentoo-user] Video Card of Death! (Yes its on topic.)
I dont want the ATi ones though, they dont give my card 3d acceleration. ~Ian PS Sadly enough, I found out they dont do 3D accel.

Then I realized that the proprietary ATi drivers dont give this card 3d acceleration, which it is totally capable of. Anyway, I tried the wiki instructions on getting this card to work but they are quite cryptic the way they have written them. It kind of branches off into three different ways of doing it, but you never know what reading to skip and what to do. I got reasonably far. What I did was take the support for the direct rendering manager out of the kernel, while including the Radeon driver and other associated things. For the purposes of this support request, I do not believe they are completely relevant. After doing what I think it was that I should do, I started X. (I have 7.1.1 by the way). What I end up with is that it cant find the drivers because the version of the radeon driver version doesn't match the server version or something? I have no idea what that means. Projects use wy different versioning systems. Seriously, I have no clue what its going on about! :) Is this a cryptic way of saying the driver wants Xorg 7.0?Xorg 7.0 should be fine. Nvidia and ati have not released drivers thatwork with 7.1 yet. In my experience, ati drivers are hell to get working (I never did get them working in the end - but I do have friends who have gotten them up and running) so I wish you luck.--Neil Isaac [EMAIL PROTECTED]--gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- Julien Cabillot -- ~Ian

Otherwise we have to guess at both the error *and* the solution, rather than the normal thing we do,which to just guess at the solution.For X errors, it also neverhurts to provide your xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log files.-Richard-- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list-- ~Ian

[gentoo-user] KDE crashing on startup
Hi there, Im using a PPC arch., and noticed that upon selecting kde-3.5 from my freshly emerged kdm that after a minute or so X will restart, bringing me right back to kdm. This does not happen if I choose to use Fluxbox. I like Fluxbox, but very much prefer KDE. Any ideas? Im thinking that KDE is crashing.. Is there a log for KDE somewhere? In addition, i have ran kde apps and kicker through fluxbox without error.-- Cheers,Ian
