Re: [gentoo-user] Tv out stopped working!
Daniel, I have a successful config at home with nvidia GeForce4 FS 5200 card. I use it in clone configuration so this screen would be shown exactly as it is on my TV. Both my TV and LCD monitor have the same resolution. I get TV Out as composite video at 1024x768 and use it to watch movies with Nvidia drivers. Do you feel what I do is what you want to accomplish? If yes, then my XF86Config may help you. Let me know, Rohit On 4/6/06, Daniel Pielmeier [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is there nobody out there who has experience regarding to this topic.

Overall performance is comparable but a scheduler of kernel 2.6 is very annoying (to say at least). I have not tried it myself, but there is an option in kernel config which facilitates the role of Low latency desktop in the 2.6 kernels. A parameter can be set to 1000 [default] and can be lowered to 250 [for low lat desk..]. It may help. Plus if you chose deadline scheduler as standard, it may help.

Re: [gentoo-user] dns at startup
David Corbin wrote: When I boot my latpop, ntpdate doesn't work. It fails saying there is a temporary failure in name resolution it cannot lookup pool.ntp.org . After my system finishes booting, /etc/init.d/ntp-client start works fine. The script is running nearly last from the output, and after a few other 'network related' scripts (exim, mysql, lisa), so I don't *think* it's 'running too early'. When I look through the init.d scripts, there are a handful that 'use dns', but no one seems to provide it. I'm not sure this is the cause, but I'd like to understand why no one provides it. More important though is fixing it so ntpdate works on boot. Hi, I have the same problem here. Temporarily what I did was after the machine has booted up, I run the ntp-client script by hand as root. Nothing elegant there. However, evidently, the script _is_ running to early, definitely earlier than your network setup. Once resolv.conf is set up properly and the nameservers in there are reachable, your error would go away. I am on home ADSL and I realise that although my resolv.conf is static [since their DNS are fixed], I should still run ntp-client _after_ the link to DNSes is up [via my USB modem]. I am yet to ensure that this script starts after my network config script start. My netconfig script is actually hand crafted - since my modem is unsupported sort of. So I had put that script last in the startup order. Hence my problem - something similar may be happening at your end. use dns probably refers to DNS server [running on your local host - which is not the case with most of us, as we don't run DNSes of our own] HTH, Rohit -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

If I were you, I would * Ensure that ntp-client script starts after the networking has been set up * modify the ntp-client script to ensure that it tests whether a DNS is available or not, at first.

[gentoo-user] Thought : making the build/emerge faster
Hi there, It just occurred to me that the emerges shall be much faster if emerges were able to use config.cache set by other applications. The steps during ./configure could be saved globally in an /etc/config.cache which could be copied over by the current emerge step as it if was its own - and be used. Could cut ./configure time by quite a bit. But since I am a very average guy and there are many people much smarter than myself out there in gentoo, I think this idea has been discarded long ago since there are incompatibilities amongst various software in the way they do, if they do, create their config.cache.

[gentoo-user] ALSA + CMI8738 card set up
Hi list, This is about my struggle to make my Trust 514DX soundcard work with Linux. This is expected to be supported in Linux [alsa-project.org] and I have read other testimonials on the net. To cut a long story short, the card worked in Windows. It gives fantastic sound output with DVDs and other suitable audios but I'd rather have it working on my Gentoo desktop where I have made everything else work so far. I admit that I have never had to manually set anything alsa/oss as all my previous soundcards worked very easily with default settings of the modules. Also, I feel that if I posted everything that I have done so far, the mail shall be really long. But the following may help to understand the problem. Alsa is started as a service on my comp. I thought it may just be that a newer-than-in-kernel code may help. The error that I have, from say Mplayer, is as follows. . Checking audio filter chain for 48000Hz/2ch/s16le - 48000Hz/2ch/s16le...
