[gentoo-user] Nvidia optimus no signal on external monitor
Hi, I've managed to get optimus works on my PC with nvidia property driver. But I got into an issue when trying to extend my screen to an external monitor by using Xrandr. There is no signal in the external monitor but the screen do extended, as mouse and window can be moved outside the visiable screen. There are 2 output connected, LVDS-0 VGA-0. The xrandr command used: # xrandr --output VGA-0 --pos 1366x0 --auto And also tried (doesn't work), # xrandr --output VGA-0 --auto --left-of LVDS-0 This one works but both monitors showing with the screen, # xrandr --output VGA-0 --auto --same-as LVDS-0 Any suggestion please? Thanks, PS. And also attach my /etc/X11/xorg.conf here, Section Module Load glx EndSection Section Monitor Identifier ASUS VendorName Unknown VertRefresh 43.0 - 72.0 Option DPMS EndSection Section Device Identifier NVIDIA Driver nvidia BusID PCI:1:0:0 EndSection Section Screen Identifier DFP0 Device NVIDIA MonitorASUS #Option IgnoreEDIDChecksum DFP Option UseDisplayDevice none EndSection Section Device Identifier INTEL Driver modesetting EndSection Section Screen Identifier INTEL Device INTEL EndSection -- oooO: (..): :\.(:::Oooo:: ::\_)::(..):: :::)./::: ::(_/ signature.asc Description: Digital signature

[gentoo-user] Does UEFI needs seperate /boot partition?
Hi, As UEFI needs a FAT partition /boot/efi/efi, can I create it from my previous /boot partition? It seems the UEFI partition needs a primary one, and my disk has no remaining primary partition available. I want to change my /boot one to /boot/efi/efi. But not sure whether it is possible.

this http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/X.Org/nVidia_Optimus is the old way
to do the trick, instead this http://bumblebee-project.org/ is an
interesting recent project but I haven't tried it yet.
Thanks Salvatore, and thanks everyone.
Finally I got it solved by follow Salvatore's suggestion. I am using the
bumblebee project.
there are still some other minor problems solved before success running
bumblebee.
The vgl init script doesn't work on xdm. the xauth section should have a
update. the start function of /etc/init.d/vgl was updated. paste here for
anyone may need it.
start() {
ebegin Starting VirtualGL
truncate --size=0 /etc/VirtualGL/vgl_xauth_key
# Check if XAUTHORITY was set successfully, if not wait a bit and let X
to start
[ -z $XAUTHORITY ] sleep 3 set_xauth
[ -e $XAUTHORITY ] || sleep 3
for i in `xauth -f $XAUTHORITY list | awk '{print $3}'`; do
xauth -f /etc/VirtualGL/vgl_xauth_key add $DISPLAY . $i \
chmod 644 /etc/VirtualGL/vgl_xauth_key
done
eend $?
}
and i915(and its modsetting ) is required for my intel onboard card, but we
have to disable all framebuffer driver options before going that.
else the screen will get blank during boot stage.

I think the gtk-engines-flat package is broken (now that I've installed it). #ldd /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libflat.so linux-gate.so.1 = (0xb7759000) libc.so.6 = /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb75cf000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb775a000) You can tell at a glance that none of those three libraries is going to define a 'gtk' symbol. All of the other libs in that directory are linked to dozens of X and gtk-related libraries, and I think libflat.so should be linked in a similar way. Yes, it is quite different from other libraries. It is mostly a compilation linking problem? -- oooO: (..): :\.(:::Oooo:: ::\_)::(..):: :::)./::: ::(_/

[gentoo-user] Error on gtk thmem: gtk-engines-flat
Hi, I got a gtk library error when trying to run a python script. # ./st.py /usr/bin/python2.7: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libflat.so: undefined symbol: gtk_rc_style_get_type The problem appears only after I recenly changed the gtk thmem to gtk-engines-flat. There is no problem if use another gtk thmem x11-themes/gtk-engines-aurora. I tried to reinstall gtk-engines or gtk-engines-flat, but the problem is still there. Thanks! du yang -- oooO: (..): :\.(:::Oooo:: ::\_)::(..):: :::)./::: ::(_/

If I try to boot my gentoo the kernel panic because it cannot find the root partition. After the panic I cannot scroll up to check what drives are detected and which numbering is used. What must I do to be able to scroll up to see what is logged to the screen? (is there maybe a special key available, the shift+page-up and scroll is not working) Thanks Matthias -- Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning. -- Rich Cook Your best bet is to boot from a livecd or gentoo minimal, and run fdisk -l to show the disk/partition listing. Also, as Neil stated, make sure your new SATA chipset drivers are compiled into the kernel and not as a module; however, it you switched from say, for example, and nvidia-based motherboard to another nvidia-based motherboard, then you don't need to worry about that. Yes, to boot from a livecd is a easier way to found a booting problem. After boot from livecd, any partition can be mounted to check the contents. And also you could recompile the kernel and install packages after mounting all the required partition and a chroot operation. -- oooO: (..): :\.(:::Oooo:: ::\_)::(..):: :::)./::: ::(_/
