No one knows what could be? 2010/12/15 Pau Peris sibok1...@gmail.com: Everyone here running kde+xinerama is able to drag Chromium through screens without kwin bar on top, when Chromium is maximized/full screen? Hard to believe i'm the one suffering this pain :'( PD: Issue just happens with window maximized/full screen. 2010/11/16 Pau Peris sibok1...@gmail.com: Hi, after updating Chromium to chromium-7.0.517.44 from portage i can't move it between different screens, if i go to Preferencies - Personal - Theme and enable Use borders and title bar (so it shows kwin) i can move chromium windows between screens as i normally do with any other app. Before the update i was using chromum 7.x from portage and had no issues, does any one know how can i check what's happening? Thanks in advanced! PD: I'm a kde user, xinerama enabled everywhere.

[gentoo-user] Linksys router BEFSR41 loosing internet
Hi, I bought this router the other day. I notice something that is a little weird. When I first wake up and try to check my email, the internet is dead. The light on my DSL modem is red and Seamonkey can't check my email or load a webpage. If I unplug the router then plug it back up, it works fine.

I run folding and it sends data without asking me and some other stuff is running as well. I have looked in the settings of the router but I don't see anything that will change this. Am I missing something? Is this normal? I used a router once before and I don't remember this being a issue. I also updated the firmware and it still does it. Feature? Wrong setting? Router broke?

I think if you can google your modem model and figure out how to access this, it might provide some useful information. (Older modems might have a telnet interface rather than web) I can access it with Seamonkey. I had to do that to get it to work at all. The router and the modem were both trying to get 192.168.1.1 and the fight was on. Same problem I ran into once before. Anyway. Hmm, maybe it could be an IP address conflict if one or both of them keep trying to go back to using the same address. I had that problem at work where a printer and a computer both had been assigned the same IP and would randomly go offline or have connectivity issues for no apparent reason, until we finally realized what was going on and changed the IP to something else. Well so far it has been working. Maybe it got things worked out and DHCP is working it out. Maybe it needed a little training time. lol Both modem and router are set to use DHCP. I should know when I get some sleep next time. I'm not sure when that will be tho. Dale :-) :-)
[gentoo-user] NVidia-drivers: Sync problem ???
Hi, For my MSI GT430 (nvidia) graphics card I am using the x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-260.19.29. But there seems to be something wrong: When playing videos with faster movements I see heavy distortions around these parts of the screen. Previously I fixed this for another nvidia card by enabling different sync options in the nvidia-setting dialog and was happy that these distortion dont come back, when I switched to this newer card. Now: There're back despite my hopes... I started glxgears and got this output on the console: Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate. 74062 frames in 5.0 seconds = 14812.268 FPS 77502 frames in 5.0 seconds = 15500.350 FPS XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0 after 57 requests (57 known processed) with 0 events remaining. The second sentence say, that there is a syncing active and will get the refresh rate of the monitor (a LCD screen) back. This wouild be around 60Hz as far as I know. And then, the measurements show 15500.350 FPS... Which slightl above 60 Hz To sync or not to sync, that seems to be the question... By the way: Distortion can be watched as when using mplayer as with vlc. I recompiled both just to get sure, but it does not help. The machine is definetly fast enough to play videos (AMD Phenom II X6 1090T) How can I get back the undistorted screen? Thank you very much in advance for any help ! Best regards, mcc
