Re: [gentoo-user] Moonlight on Gentoo
Hi Willie, I have had no experience with moonlight yet, but google brought me to this [1]. More useful would be this [2]. At [2] you can just download an firefox 2 plugin in .xpi format. It seems that there is no ebuild atm. Please report your experience to this thread.

Re: [gentoo-user] xf86-video-ati-6.8.0-r1 problems
Hi, I think this problem is not *-ati (driver) related. Since the module needed for drm has the same name as the driver has, but resides in another directory. I would suggest you to check whether x11-base/x11-drm or to the kernel module is build for drm. Since I am using the package mentioned above, there is a .ko called "/lib/modules//x11-drm/radeon.ko". The kernel module for ati drm resides in "/lib/modules//kernel/drivers/char/radeon.ko". Hope this helps. Regards, acm. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Re: [gentoo-user] Should /boot be mounted to upgrade grub?
Grant wrote: Should /boot be mounted to upgrade grub? Hi Grant, if you upgrade grub via emerge, /boot should be mounted. As stage1, stage2 etc. will be upgraded in /boot/grub and also in /lib/grub/i386-pc. You should also check if /etc/mtab is available, because grub-install require this file to determine your partition structure.

Re: [gentoo-user] chroot problem
Wolf Canis wrote: # mount -tproc proc /mnt/rescue/proc # mount -obind /dev /mnt/rescue/dev Ooops, I overlooked your cd command. Therefore the mount command is of course correct. :-[ Hi, I think this is, although the 'cd' command is executed, necessary as the mount command looks at /etc/fstab and if e.g. 'proc' is specified at command line mount uses information from fstab. However, I think this problem is whether mount nor bash related. Try # mount -tproc proc /mnt/rescue/proc # mount -obind /dev /mnt/rescue/dev # chroot /mnt/rescue /bin/bash Especially check the permissions of /mnt/rescue/bin/bash and /bin/bash. They should be at least 0755. In case of there are several permission problems last time on my system ('up-to-date-system', no ~*) rebuild the package that include 'chroot' so that right permissions are set for the program and its libs. I hope this helps in any way and excuse me for that bad English. Regards, acm. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Re: [gentoo-user] Re: How to set package.use for layman overlays
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm a little confused .. the question (that you quoted in your reply) asks how to set use flags separately for layman overlay. So your answer doesn't appear to make sense... but maybe I'm missing something here. Hi, the subject is "How to set package.use for layman overlays". USE-Flags are set by package.use. How I mentioned before that is not handled by /usr/portage/layman where the make.conf is, but by /etc/portage/package.use. Sorry for that mistake. So I think you wont be able to set USE-Flags specially for layman packages. Regards, acm. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Re: [gentoo-user] Re: How to set package.use for layman overlays
So again, if one wanted to set some use flags differently for layman packages ... where and how would that be done? I think that you should use package.use. Yes. According to Strollers post this is done by an package.use file in /usr/portage/layman I think. Regards, acm. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Ian Lee wrote: i always thought vga= was only used by the old vesafb driver i use video=uvesafb:1024x768-32 i cant get any wide screen modes to work at all, anybody else know how?? Did you tried to find out what resolutions are supported by your graphic card (e.g. hwinfo --framebuffer)? I only know this tool to get the necessary hex code. So I don't really know if the vga= option works with uvesafb too. I have to correct my statement that I am using uvesafb. It seems that I am using vesafb. This is because I don't want either any additional userspace application (v86d) nor bootsplash etc. acm. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Re: [gentoo-user] uvesafb and screen resolution
Hi. Try to determine possible resolutions by typing "hwinfo --framebuffer". Use the hex code 0x... and put it as kernel parameter in your grub.conf. For 1400x1050 with kernel 2.6.24-r3 I am using the following lines: title Gentoo GNU/Linux (gentoo-sources-2.6.24-r3) root (hd0,1) kernel /gentoo-sources-2.6.24-r3 root=/dev/sda5 vga=0x344 Regards, acm. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Re: [gentoo-user] AMD vs. Intel on Gentoo?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi. AMD has had better engineers than Intel all the time. Intel just had the money. A few years ago the CIO from Intel advised engineers to be more creative. So AMD will stay ahead of the pack and if they find the right way (actually they're going the right way -> open specifications) the competition is going on. I hope that nVidia won't acquire AMD. In fact atm. there is no measurable performance difference weather in IU nor in FPU operations, however AMD has a better performance/price. In HPCs AMD beats Intel because they don't use obsolete FSB. I am looking forward to the new CPU architecture where GPU and CPU find together. I am using Intel technology because chipset, wlan, bluetooth and so on are working great together, although there is no HypterTransport. Intel is going to follow AMD because they have the money.
