[gentoo-user] FYI - time to mask ati-drivers above 12.4 if you're Radeon 5400

2012-06-11 Thread Adam Carter
12.4 is the last Catalyst to support Radeon HD 2000/3000/4000 series, so if you're using them you probably want to; # echo x11-drivers/ati-drivers-12.4 /etc/portage/package.mask And if you're not concerned about 3D or power saving, maybe think about using the radeon driver from xf86-video-ati.

Howdy, I been trying to play around with versions of adobe-flash to see which version a) works and b) doesn't crash or cause other problems. Anyway, I was using one version, the 10 version, for a bit but am having issues so I wanted to try a newer version. It seems tho, no matter what version I

I get this, commonly with adobe-flash and google-earth. I suspect that they change the file content or dynamically regenerate it faster than portage can track them/my local repos update. The only fix I have been able to come up with is check as far as possible where the binary came from and

Top posting for obvious reasons. ;-) I was thinking it could be this but this is the first time I have ever ran into this with adobe-flash. I wanted to sort of check into it before doing anything that may cause issues' such as just redoing the manifest. I did think about it tho. Now to go
