[gentoo-user] Why can't I set the resolution of console ?
I edit the command line of grub at boot time . I passed some parametres to kernel like below: root=/dev/sda6 video=atyfb:1024x768@60m and I also tried another one: root=/dev/sda6 video=aty128fb:1024x768@60m Both of them didn't show any error messages and the system can start up, but the resolution still no changed. There is an issue happened in my buiding kernel : I hadn't found the driver for my video card. I'm not sure whether it has anything to do with this issue? BTW, my video card information is below: ATI Technologies Inc M92 LP (ATI Radeon 4330 series)

Why are you using atyfb instead of (u)vesafb? Anyhow, uvesafb's plusses over vesafb are: 1. Proper blanking and hardware suspension after delay 2. Support for custom resolutions as in the system BIOS. ( ArchLinux wiki) Its minus is the requirement of adding /sbin/v86d to the initrd/initramfs. Also, please avoid top-posting ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style#Top-posting ). Bottom-posting increases readability.

And a final note: cdparanoia typically reports less problems than cdda2wav because cdparanoia clears some error counters frequently while cdda2wav sums them all up within a single track. So seeing more error reports from cdda2wav does not mean lower quality.

Re: [gentoo-user] TCP Advanced Congestion Control -- any difference?
Am 20.10.2011 15:10, schrieb Pandu Poluan: Like the subject said: I am wondering if using a non-default TCP Advanced Congestion Control makes any difference. (The default is cubic, but there are alternatives such as htcp, hybla, and yeah) Any experiences? I tested it on the only situation I had where it was even remotely worth the effort to try it: NFS over TCP via an old and overutilized router: No measurable effect. I guess a web or mail server (read: something that is not primarily bandwidth constrained and where latency matters) might benefit more. But then again, how do you measure that reliably? You also have to consider where the client might be. A long distance, high bandwidth connection will benefit from different congestion control mechanisms than a local low bandwidth connection.
