Hmm, for most graphics adapters the mouse cursor is drawn by the hardware. The fact that it disappears during movement suggests that the cursor is being drawn in software for some reason. Check the graphics device section in xorg.conf, and make sure you do not have SWCursor enabled. You can also check /var/log/Xorg.0.log, and see what that says about your cursor. For example, I have: (==) RADEON(0): Silken mouse enabled (II) RADEON(0): Using hardware cursor (scanline 1052) Finally, it might be useful to read the man page for the X.org graphics driver you are using.

[gentoo-user] xorg and transparency
Hello. I have been experimenting with xcomposite in xorg, to enable transparency and other effects. I added this to xorg.conf: Section Extensions Option Composite Enable EndSection and this under the Device section: Option RenderAccel true Option AllowGLXWithComposite true Things are working fine. I can now call on xcompmgr and transset to enable transparency on windows. However, things are incredibly slow. Only effect that doesn't seem to cause a slowdown are the shadows and menu fading. All the rest, pretty slow. I'm running gnome 2.12 (with metacity), xorg-x11 6.8.2-r5, and nvidia drivers (7676). GLX seems to be working fine (I can run glxgears in composite enabled server). Also, I have experienced a few problems. Firefox window got fully transparent somehow and I couldn't get it back. If I try to log out, the dialog where it asks logout/restart/shutdown doesn't appear also. gnome-panel goes to the back, and windows appear in front of them. Kinda small bugs, but still bugs!

Re: [gentoo-user] Multi-services box
I'll echo what A. Khattri said. I run one server, it functions as a router, web, ftp, LAN portage mirror (thanks http-replicator!), DNS proxy (dnsmasq), pop3(ssl), imap(ssl), smtp, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and VNC server, in addition to Xorg. Runs just fine. But it's also an Athlon XP 2400+ (2ghz, 133 mhz fsb * 15 multiplier), 1gb of RAM (PC2100 DDR), and an old, faulty 40gb hard drive (faulty in the respect that it reports the speed as UDMA44 to the BIOS, when in fact there is no such standard and it should be UDMA66, but that's easily fixed with hdparm). The real bottleneck on my server is my cable modem, with only 384kbps upstream (4mbps downstream though). But I digress. As long as the server can handle it, there shouldn't be any problems, and in some cases, it might turn out better, and the programs can then use sockets instead of ports to communicate with each other (which would be the case of a web server with a seperate database server).On 9/29/05, Uwe Thiem [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 29 September 2005 19:05, Mark wrote: Hi, I'm thinking of setting up a Gentoo server to host a few different services, primarily a small web site on Apache, an Exim mail server, a Halafax fax server and a Squid proxy server.

[gentoo-user] Portage, network less install and Apache, MySQL, PHP
Greetings, I just managed to install (network less Universal CD install) Gentoo on my Pentium 100 with 48MB of RAM (yeah, it was hard, but I got the fastest system this poor hardware ever had), its working fine with minimal on everything, but as I have limited network access (proxy), I can't update, neither the usual emerge --sync nor emerge-webrsync works, the RSYNC is blocked for sure, and I suppose webrsync is trying to download something (all downloads are filtered, except for some extensions, but tar.bz2 and tar.gz are filtered). I scheduled the download of the last portage tree (snapshot) and MySQL and Apache latest versions and its dependencies, but I'm pretty sure I won't be able to install them, because when calculating dependencies, emerge fails (too old for the latest versions, and they're masked). So, I ask: 1) If I get the latest snapshot, will it be like an emerge --sync? 2) If I download all packages and dependencies, will I be able to install the masked version after pretending the sync with the snapshot? 3) Has anyone tried this? If I manage to install it, I'll get like 4 new servers using replication with hardware that would be trash nowadays (that's good for business).

Re: [gentoo-user] Good command for wiping a hard drive?
Deleting and recreating new, different partitions isn't enough, as the raw data is still there. I would use /dev/urandom combined /bin/dd. Never done this before, but *should* work. Boot from the gentoo livecd (or some other livecd that provides a full working linux environment), type dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/hda conv=notrunc . Run that about 10 times (you do want it securely erased right?) or however many times you feel is necessary. Use dlcfdd instead of dd if you can, as with an extra CLI option (sizeprobe=of) you can get a progress bar.On 9/30/05, Mark Knecht [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Sold my laptop on Ebay.

Since AES encryption generates essentially random data, this should be the equivalent of reading from urandom, only much much faster. You still have to run it multiple times of course, and with a different encryption key each time, but commands like this should do the trick: head -c 45 /dev/urandom | uuencode -m - | head -n 2 | tail -n 1 key.txt dd if=/dev/zero bs=64k | aespipe -p3 -e AES128 3key.txt /dev/hda -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] xorg and transparency
Hi, Also, I have experienced a few problems. Firefox window got fully transparent somehow and I couldn't get it back. If I try to log out, the dialog where it asks logout/restart/shutdown doesn't appear also. gnome-panel goes to the back, and windows appear in front of them. Kinda small bugs, but still bugs!

Re: [gentoo-user] Good command for wiping a hard drive?
Thanks all. I think this info would make a good wiki or something. There are sort of two cases: 1) You want to wipe some drive that's a peripheral part of the system. You're going to keep the system so you can use portage, etc. 2) You want to wipe the whole system. You need to wipe root so you want to use something on the install disk, such as dd. Since I was doing the second option I used dd, ran it twice, blew all the partitions away, and formatted it with fat32, blew that away, did dd one more time, and then installed Windows for the guy who bought the machine. If he can find my old data more power to him! Again, thanks a lot for all the good responses. I'd like to take the time and try them all on a 1394 drives one of these days just to see how they all work.

Re: [gentoo-user] keeping hosts file in sync
On Wednesday 28 September 2005 07:46, Dave Nebinger wrote: Whats the best way to keep several /etc/host files in sync ? The easiest way is not to bother. Use a local dns server to provide host lookups. I believe on the gentoo wiki you'll find a setup for a caching dns proxy where the most lookups will be forwarded to a regular dns but you can still provide local host lookups and reverse lookups. Works great for me and I don't have to worry about whatever /etc/hosts contains. Also ensures that new windows clients added to the network don't need their files updated, either. In fact, the default BIND install will do the forwarding. I don't know if it's caching, but it definately works well on my (small) home network. I use Webmin for management, and it works great. I also use ISC dhcpd to assign my systems their static internal IP addresses by their MAC address, and to give the location of the DNS server, so I don't have to do any network configuration on my clients. It really works well for me. pgpFUpLAxDUKs.pgp Description: PGP signature
