Re: [gentoo-user] Iptables
Alan IPTables support must be compiled into the kernel. I am not in front of my gentoo system so cannot help you find the location in make menuconfig but if you poke around you should be able to locate it.

Re: [gentoo-user] nvidia-drivers vs nvidia-legacy-drivers
Hi I had that exact problem and removed nvidia-settings - it went away.

[gentoo-user] Xorg-x11 problems
HiI tried to move to moidular X but it failed so I roled everything back but I now have a problem that has me stumped. When I do an emerge -puD world there are a whole slew of packages that are blocked by a non existant package. I have xorg-x11 6.8.2-r8 installed not 6.9 but get the following in front of all the blocked packages. How do I convince the system that it doesn't have this package installed.=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 (is blocking I have tried emerge --clean x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 and emerge --prune x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 and they both tell me that the package is not there. I have done a revdep-rebuild and an emerge --newuse --update --deep world and nothing has fixed it. Help!-- Pete Pardoe -- Pete Pardoe
Re: [gentoo-user] 64bit vs 32bit
Depends on what you want it for. I personally have two AMD 64 systems - one at work and one at home and have one running 64 bit (work) and one 32 bit (home). My experience is that yes you can get most major apps running on a 64 bit system through the use of 32 bit bins but there are still a lot of the more exotic apps that are not available in the 64 bit world. For the hardly noticable increase in speed from the 64 bit apps and the aggravation in getting things to work - I would go for 32 bit - everything is available and just works. I found that it was just too much hassle trying to get everything working in 64 bits so converted my home system from 64 to 32 and if I had the time would do the same at work.

Re: [gentoo-user] Are there any known glitches in using the nvidia drivers with an athlon64?
I have two AMD 64's one at work and one at home both run nvidia drivers and while there werre times when I had problems initially - they were cured when I went to the latest nvidia drivers (~amd64) and I have never had a problem with either system in over 6 months. It could be a misconfigured xorg.conf file so try re-doing that and recompiling nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx.PeteOn 6/11/06, Anthony E.
