So guessing about the path: 1) Kernel get KMS. 2) Xorg-X11 develops and tests for awhile. (probably on-going now?) Yup, it's working already because Intel graphics chips already had KMS for a while now. It's already in Ubuntu and Fedora (though not enabled by default, I think.) Just as a note - the Radeon KMS uses a different implementation path than the Intel KMS - Intel, in the kernel, uses GEM for gfx memory management, while Radeon (and Nouveau, and other upcoming) use the new TTM (which is also new for .31) - I don't *think* this will affect how X interfaces with the kernel driver, but, since TTM is newer than GEM (GEM/Intel KMS happened in .29), it might still be a little bit before the wrinkles are worked out. TTM is actually older than GEM, but the Intel guys didn't like TTM and invented GEM. But GEM is more of an interface than an implementation. Intel has their own implementation of the GEM interface, and Radeon and Nouveau will probably share the TTM-based GEM implementation that has entered the kernel now. Sebastian

[gentoo-amd64] Troubleshooting XComposite
Hi, When my hard-disk made suspicious noises recently, I decided to replace it - be safe rather than sorry - and use the opportunity to do a complete, fresh install of my system. The new system is up and running (OpenOffice troubles aside), with the added advantage that I finally managed to get to the most recent ATI binary driver version instead of that stone-age version that happened to not hang my system under the old setup. With the new driver, I want to use its AIGLX capabilities. However, I'm having trouble getting XComposite to work. I have it enabled in xorg.conf: Section Extensions Option Composite Enable EndSection Xorg.0.log agrees: $ grep -i composite /var/log/Xorg.0.log (**) Extension Composite is enabled (II) fglrx(0): Sync: Separate Composite SyncOnGreen (II) Initializing built-in extension COMPOSITE I've got direct rendering and the RENDER extension: (II) fglrx(0): Direct rendering enabled (II) Initializing built-in extension RENDER And the damage protocol: (II) Initializing built-in extension DAMAGE Unfortunately, xdpyinfo disagrees: $ xdpyinfo | grep -i composite $ And so does KDE4 (System Settings, Desktop, Desktop Effects), telling me that compositing is not supported on my system, and that XDamage and XComposite are not available.

Personally, I tried a number of different firewall scripts, but wasn't really satisfied with any of them. Most of them tried to do too much -- they had all sorts of config options for configuring big commercial networks, options for shutting off net access to a specific segment of the internal network at a specific time, for instance. I didn't /need/ that sort of complex configuration, and it only made things more confusing, not less. At the same time, stuff that should have been simple ended up hugely complex. I was never sure which modules I needed for which options, and since I was configuring scripts that did the actual configuring of the IPTables based firewall, when something didn't work, I was never quite sure whether it was the script, or a bug in the kernel, or a missing module, or my mistake, or... Well, I'm sure you can identify right about now! =8^( I have to disagree with this evaluation. In several years, I found that shorewall makes simple things simple, and difficult things I've never tried. My network is really, really simple: a firewall/fileserver/everything with a slightly defective keyboard that I carry a screen to when it doesn't work, plus a number of other computers (one desktop, three laptops, usually) for various family members. The firewall mainly does three things: 1) Block everything except a few services from the outside. 2) NAT. 3) A few direct port forwards to the desktop computer. Configuring this is easy enough in IPTables (I did learn them somewhat, out of interest, though I've forgotten a lot, too), but it's really, really easy in shorewall. In all the years I've used Gentoo now, I can only say that I'm highly satisfied with the program.

Only if that fails do I try -fPIC and bug it as necessary. But wouldn't that apply only to errors that occur during the configuration step? Or have you observed a situation where a compilation change triggered by a failing non-essential test caused an error later? -fPIC is an interesting beast. It's required on amd64 for all shared objects (*.so*), but isn't recommended (except for hardened) for application binaries, both due to occasional unexpected complications and because it's slower. Thus, putting it in CFLAGS is NOT a good thing, unless it's for a specific library package only, to get it to merge while you are waiting for the bug you filed on it (right?) to get researched/fixed/tested. Speaking of which, is there any way to configure flags per package? Something like /etc/portage/package.flags, where I can configure CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS?

[gentoo-amd64] -fPIC - Toolchain broken?
Hi, While trying to compile OpenOffice.org, I was blocked by the inability to compile icu-3.4.1. The compilation fails on linking the third library it tries to build, libicui18n.so, with this message: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: warning: creating a DT_TEXTREL in object. /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: ucol_wgt.o: relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against `compareRanges' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Normally, that would simply indicate that a source file was compiled without -fPIC, which is wrong. However, that's not the case here: manual checking of the compiler command lines of all previous sources shows that they were all, in fact, compiled with -fPIC and -DPIC. I even manually removed the previously built libraries (libicudata.so and libicuuc.so) and relinked them with -fPIC, although I don't even know whether the flag has any influence on linking. Same error. I have the same problem when manually trying to compile any Mozilla-based application. However, most programs and libraries build fine - I just finished merging KOffice without any problems. So, is my toolchain screwed up? Am I doing something wrong? Is the icu ebuild simply broken?

Re: [gentoo-amd64] Re: provide net
Dave Crane wrote: No, whomever made apache2 need net instead of use net made the decision for me (negating the admin). Now, I cannot use apache2 locally with my laptop without changing rc.conf. This makes me wonder: is there a simple method /for an initscript author/ to make an appplication require *some* sort of network interface, whether that's a loopback or something else, and another application require some non-local network interface? As this discussion shows, some applications (Apache) are useful with only the loopback, while others (NFS, Lisa) are useless without some external network. The net strict checking setting serves no real-world use case that I can see: it allows a system admin to decide whether all net applications on his machine (and there's no fine-grain control) are useful without external network access. This is too general a statement to make a proper decision about. While the final decision whether an application that has some (perhaps limited) functionality with the loopback should launch if that's all that's available should rest with the sysadmin, this must be a per-application setting, and the first decision must come from the maintainer: whether there is anything useful the application can do in the first place. As such, the distinction should exist between need somenet and need extnet . The names are stupid and should change, of course, but you get the idea. The idea, in a way, would be to do away with all the net.* provide special case, and make those net scripts provide one or both of these in the old-fashioned way: net.lo - provide somenet net.eth0 provide somenet extnet Definitely not an expert, but the current situation has always struck me as strange.
