[gentoo-user] DRI doesn't work with Radeon XPress 200M and opensource Drivers
I've tried everthing I found on google and the forums and still can't find the way to make DRI work with my ATI Radeon XPress 200M and the opensource drivers. I don't want to install the closed source because I want to use beryl, and these drivers can't do the job, AFAIK. So, here I am, trying to figure out what is going wrong.

[gentoo-user] Database migration software
Hi. I have a small database (100 tables) in firebird and want to migrate SOME data of it to a postgresql database. The latter database serves to a different purpose, so I just have to migrate specific columns of specific tables from the former database. Is there any app that can do that job?

[gentoo-user] Auto-backup tool?
Hi! I have a laptop with lots of documents, plus, I am writing lots of documents. When I'm working with these files, I stop after every 2 to 4 hours of work to save the changes, copying the updated files on a external hard drive. I also send them to two e-mail accounts (gmail and yahoo). Is there a tool to make these repetitive tasks automatically? I would like to have something that just copies the updated (and new) files to my external HD, in order to keep both directories' contents in sync (on my laptop: /home/jbackes/documents; on my external HD: /mnt/external/backup/documents/) . And for the activity of packing and mailing recent changed documents, is there a tool that could do this automagically? ___ Novidade no Yahoo! Mail: receba alertas de novas mensagens no seu celular.

Re: [gentoo-user] Lightwheight Gentoo System
So I was thinking Gentoo, optimized for PII, I guess -Os would be a good option for this little machine. Any thoughts anyone? What about the desktop? I guess Gnome or KDE is not really the best choice. But what else could I use? Of course, it's for kids, so I have to be able to make it look nice :-) What would be a good window manager? File manager? Other applications that help to keep it lean an fast? Man, I've installed gentoo in a Pentium III 450MHz with 128 MB RAM. The apps I've installed were: - KDE: It was very fast, but it took four days a week to compile. If you think that installing KDE doesn't worth the effort (if you are afraid that KDE may be sluggish), install slackware with KDE just to see how it will perform on that hardware. - OpenOffice.org: I was able to run OOo. It was a little (yes, just a little) slow, but worked well. I also recommend you to install koffice, because it is lightweight. - The Gimp, Inkscape, Thunderbird, etc.: were swift and fast. DO NOT install firefox. It is crappy on slower machines. Stick with konqueror and avoid headaches. Everything should run better than you expect on that machine. If you are in doubt because of performance concerns, try slackware just to test what you can be executed on your machine. With gentoo you'll have to compile everything (and it will take a week), but it will pay the effort, because everything will be faster. ___ Novidade no Yahoo!

Simply use chmod on the mounted partition. chmod 777 /path/to/something Thanks a lot, it worked as you said. It will be retained on the next mount.

Re: [gentoo-user] ATI and Linux
Are they stable and pretty easy to use/install? Any problems with games? How about commercial OpenGL games ported to Linux like Call of Duty and Doom 3? They are a pain in the ass! Worse than childbirth or a golf ball inside your kidneys. Problems with games? After all that pain, there is no significant problems. But the drivers tend to be slower than on Windows. I am asking because Newegg has some nice deals on ATI X1600 series starting at $99 USD: The cheaper can cost you more that you imagine. Do the proprietary ATI Linux drivers have *all* of the features that the proprietary ATI Windows drivers have? NO!
