  Hi all,
 I have a few packages listed in /var/lib/portage/world that I was
  wondering whether they needed to be in there? Thanks in advance,
 
  1) Emulation stuff
 
  app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-java
  app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-qtlibs
 
  Nothing seems to depend on them. Can I remove them?
 
 emerge -a --depclean

depclean will not touch packages listed in the world file

ffmpeg has support for several windows media and I think even real

contain any WMV codecs AFAIK.

Most of the stuff is natively supported by mplayer, beside that there
is amd64codecs. If you're missing something important then there's

Re: [gentoo-amd64] First Impressions

2006-09-27 Thread Christoph Mende

One thing that I think wasn't mentioned yet, while -fPIC is needed for
libraries, it must be disabled for binaries (don't know if that's true
for prelink), as portage says, it might break things and your binaries
are most likely becoming slower when you compile them with -fPIC.

2006/9/27, Daniel Iliev [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

Hello, everyone!

It's my first mail to this list. I hope the community here is as
friendly as the one at the general gentoo-user list ;-)
Please, forgive me if open some threads about already discussed issues
until I catch up with rhythm of the list.

So let me start a with 2 newbie questions caused by my first impressions
from the x86_64 world:

1) I use CFLAGS=-march=athlon64 -mfpmath=sse -msse -msse2 -msse3
-m3dnow -mmmx -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -fpic. Portage complains
with *red letters* about the fpic flag. Every time I emerge something it
says that fpic breaks things, but I haven't met a single breakage so
far. Is that a bug? Actually there was an ebuild which could not be
compiled if mysql was compiled w/o fpic. I'm not 100% sure but AFAIR
it was dev-perl/DBD-mysql.

2) I see too many flags that are disabled by the profile - the kind with
the parenthesis around them, like (-3dnow). Why? As I mentioned above
I enable some of these through my CFLAGS - e.g. (-mmx), (-mmxext),
(-sse) and (-sse2) and everything works perfect.

Latest stable version of ffmpeg is supposed to support wmv (at least

better solution.

Hello,

My google digging wasn't helpful this time. Perhaps I can't find the

On a 32bit gentoo system appropriate codec comes with
media-libs/win32codecs and such movies can be played by mplayer. On
amd64 mplayer can't be emerged with USE=win32codecs, because the flag
is disabled by the profile.

Please, advise me how to set up an amd64 based system to play clips of
*.wmv format or send me a link to some information on this subject.

Don't know what exactly you mean, but the unicode use flag doesn't

Re: [gentoo-amd64] Re: SOLVED: gcc 4.1 upgrade - bad desktop interactivity anyone?

2006-09-23 Thread Christoph Mende
DRI is hardware accelerated 3D rendering. You don't need it for music apps, but you most probably need it for your Windows games, without direct rendering you will use software rendering and get most likely get 5 fps in OpenGL games. It may be nice to have direct rendering for xine too, since xine can output its videos through OpenGL - don't know about MythTV though.

correct that DRI==3D? Or does DRI go further than just basic 3D andhelp other things like MythTV or something else I'm not thinking of atall?I do see these messages in xorg.0.log:(**) RADEON(0): RADEONSaveMode returns 0x709390

drmOpenDevice: open result is 6, (OK)I do NOT do ANY Linux-based 3D stuff today. My workload is Mainlymusic applications - Ardour, etc., which do not care about 3D, webbrowsing, MythTV and Xine to watch movies.Do I / should I care about
DRI?I do occasionally play Windows games under Cedega. Would DRI ever helpthat sort of application?Anyway, things seem to be in pretty good shape. Maybe I should justleave good enough alone. ;-)

Thanks Christoph. I'll go check that out.Does the vesafb have any impact on my current X environment or is is
