[gentoo-user] Radeon X1300
Hello, gentoo-users, I am running Xorg 7.1, with xorg-server-1.1.1-r2, and beryl/emerald out of the svn-overlay. Everything worked fine with my old ATI Radeon 9600, now I switched cards and use an ATI Radeon X1300Pro. Since this I don't get a graphical login box anymore, just a grey background when X starts up. I googled and browsed around, tried some changes in xorg.conf, but no success. Any ideas anyone? This is my main workhorse, so I would like to fix that problem soon ... you understand.

[gentoo-user] aterm/rxvt character set

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Transcoding movie DVD to MPEG4?
I am not an expert about this. I have used dvd:rip to copy a dvd DL file (8+GB) to HDD. After mounting the image as a loop device (see man mount) I was able to burn the image to a disk with dvd9to5. It worked in that particular instance.

I moved the drive internal and connected it directly to the IDE controller and since have had no problems burning either single or double layer. [IIRC, it's an vanilla OEM Samsung drive.] Thanks for all the suggestions! My Phillips DVD writer is internally mounted. After about half way instead of flipping over and burning the second layer it just fails with an input/output error. I've tried my Gentoo OS and a Knoppix CD just in case it was a matter of OS/application settings, but the same error occurred. I had problems with DVD DL media, too. It stopped with a write failure just before beginning to burn the second layer. I tried Verbatim DL media and it worked very well. Since then I _ONLY_ used Verbatim media, I didnt have anymore problems burning. HTH

Since I do not have another amd64 system, can I just copy over most of the (non arch dependant files) and recreate the arch dependant files?

Once I copy of the non-arch_dependant files (not sure which ones those are) do I need to run grub again?

Re: [gentoo-user] Restaffing the 11th Userrep seat
First of all I'd like to thank you for your feedback. We had a Userrel/Userreps meeting last Saturday and had a vote about the issue. It resulted in instating Alex Bogak aka djay-il as the eleventh and last User Representative. This motion passed unanimously and Alex accepted the position with immediate effect. It was a pragmatic decision for the good of the project and I do hope that you all understand this. But I think we need to work out a new voting procedure and rules that settle such issues anyways. The ones that are in place right now, where worked out when the whole project was rather unclear and it would make sense to rethink them now that the project has come to life.

[gentoo-user] Gigabit NIC but only 100baseT/Full working

From my understanding thats not a problem with the OS, but with the crossover cable itself. The os is seeing it as a Gigabit card.

Re: [gentoo-user] linux-headers vs gentoo-sources
The old way of doing things was to make the following two symlinks: /usr/include/linux - /usr/src/linux/include/linux /usr/include/asm - /usr/src/linux/include/asm Then the second would be linked to the correct set of asm headers for your architecture, etc, inside the linux kernel source tree. Somewhere along the lines, the symlinking idea became deprecated in favor of using a hard set of header files. I forget why this came to be but I agree that at some point, a newer kernel must render some portion of an old set of headers outdated. I think the linux-headers package is intended to be kept as up to date as possible to avoid interface changes/incompatibilities. Why it's not kept even and why the redundancy? Good questions. I would figure that if you wanted to manually maintain a hard set of headers and keep them installed in the correct places, you're free to do so but the linux-headers package has been properly maintained from my experience.

And the linux-devs will kill you for that. Somewhere along the lines, the symlinking idea became deprecated in favor of using a hard set of header files. Because the linux-kernel-headers are totally broken for userspace. Nothing, no app, no tool, no lib, should use them. They are constantly changing, and very, very bad. There is some work, to make them userspace usable. But it just started. I forget why this came to be but I agree that at some point, a newer kernel must render some portion of an old set of headers outdated. no, it does not. Because they are seperated.

Why it's not kept even and why the redundancy? Good questions. Again, the linux-headers package is a cleaned up, modified 'for userspace only' version, while the kernel's headers are a messy pile of 'for kernel usage only'.

Removing kdevelop is now allow a routine 'emerge -uDv world' to run. Once that is finished I'll post what you ask for. James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

You should add the --tree option to your routine update command to see what is wrongly trying to pull in kde-env. emerge -uDtp world These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating world dependencies \ Ebuilds for the following packages are either all masked or don't exist: app-editors/xwpe done!
