Re: [gentoo-user] Skype problem
Refer to the wiki article for a proper dmix configuration. Can you play two sounds at once, such as playing an mp3 along with another sound file? If you can't, then your dmix config probably needs to be reworked. If you can, it's going to be a problem specific to Skype, and honestly, the software isn't the greatest because of how out-of-date it is. You may want to check out Skype/Installation Wiki article to find out how you can use the newest version of Skype for Windows in Linux with Wine. P.S. Dmix shouldn't even be an issue because the SBLive is based on the emu10k1 chipset, which does hardware mixing.On 5/22/06, Luigi Pinna [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-Hash: SHA1Alle 04:25, lunedì 22 maggio 2006, Jason Weisberger ha scritto: There could be a couple of things causing this.Do you have ALSA's OSS Emulation properly configured.If you do, you should be able to hear sound when you #echo /dev/rand /dev/dsp .If /dev/dsp isn't working, please refer to the Gentoo Wiki article on setting up ALSA properly for OSS Emulation. http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ALSA_Complete_%28includes_dmix%29 You may also want to check on which version of ALSA you're using, because prior to ~0.9, dmix wasn't automatically enabled (software mixing) and if your sound card doesn't support hardware mixing, other devices will tie up /dev/dsp and not allow Skype access.Skype is very stingy when it comes to sharing /dev/dsp.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: 300GB HD
One problem, only one place to put the drive. It's a shitty eMachines case.I'm building a new comp over the summer, but I'm gonna add the 300 to this comp, and just re-do everything once I get a new mobo and case. I'm planning on quad-booting. Or even more.40 GB's of Windows XP (I am a gamer. Some games I just cannot get to work under Linux)60 GB's of SuSE (I have an old pro version.)80 GB's of Gentoo 2006.0 (yay!) 20 GB's of Shared Files (Music, and whatever needs to be shared)then the rest will be unpartitioned, mainly for trying out some BSD's and other distro's. to be partitioned as appropriate.That's my game plan so far. It's subject to change easily. Again, I've had trouble locating a PSU that will fit in the case. This is worse then getting a Dell.For my next comp, I'm obviously building my own (I got this for free in 2001). In a very, very large tower case. I'll probably then stick this current 40GB HD in here and use the comp as a household server running BSD/Linux and hosting LAN game servers and GNUMP3d, and whatever I see fit.

I un/merged, un/masked, rm -rf so many things I can't remember anymore. But at the end of the day, I do have the latest nvidia drivers working in OpenGL glory on my Dell i8200 notebook GeForce 440 card. Glxgears gives me: 7630 frames in 5 seconds = 1526 FPS +/- Now if only I could figure out a way to get the video card to not share an IRQ with SEVEN other things including my eth0, wlan and usb amongst other things -- then it wouldn't studder. *sigh*. -Original Message- From: Daevid Vincent [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 11, 2006 12:58 PM To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Subject: RE: [gentoo-user] Modular Xorg 7 won't start with nVidia GeForce4 440 Go This should not be needed. The X server (actually, the nvidia module loaded in the X server) should create these automatically if they do not exist. From an strace of X on my system after removing the nvidiactl and nvidia0 device nodes: Okay. I removed them. Thanks. So what is causing X7 to crash is when I set: eselect opengl set nvidia If you comment out the line: Load glx in xorg.conf, do you still get the crash? No. X starts now. But glxgears segfaults. How are you starting the X server? Does it still crash if you run just X :0? I type startx. X :0 just gives me (as you probably already know) a checker-board backdrop and a cursor. Can't do anything else with it. Take the most recent version of nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx (~x86) and take a look at /etc/modules.d/nvidia. There something about a module-option for notebook systems. Tried various ways with and without this option enabled. However, it says that's to solve hard lock ups. I don't have that problem. X starts, then just dies (if I have the wrong combination of eselect/glx). It's definitely related to OpenGL now...
