[gentoo-user] how to keep the souce for debugging under gentoo?
I posted a question a while ago regarding the way of debugging /sbin/init . I managed to do it by adding -ggdb to CFLAGS temporarily (as well as the nostrip feature). however, I found the source from /usr/portage/distfiles does not match the running instance, then I realized that the running executable is compiled from patched or altered version of source files. Is there a way to get the matching source? if there exists a solution, it might be applied to all applications under gentoo that to be debugged, i think.. tks daniel

[gentoo-user] ncurses seems to behave in a strange manner
Hi there, I've been wondering for a long time why is this happening, and I couldn't find a reason, so here's my question. When I sometimes use my Gentoo 2006.0 (or now 2006.1) minimal live-cd to do some tasks, I appreciate that if I enter into my root /usr/src/linux and run 'make menuconfig' ncurses paint lines perfectly, and everything is showed as should. I haven't got X installed, it is a terminal computer. When I run (now in my system, not with live-cd running) for example 'mp3blaster' [ncurses based app], or 'tmsnc' it looks as if there not redrawing as they should. But there is more: I thought that maybe it was a problem of those apps and that they weren't as polished as they should, but when I run 'make menuconfig' to update some kind of thing of my kernel, I see that all those lines that were showed smoothly with my live-cd now are malformed and dialogs are just ugly, and not pretty. I am using vesafb-tng, with a ~x86 system. I do use bootsplash (well, splashutils and friends), but if I don't load it [I have another grub option that does not start it] it happens the same. I don't know what issues are happening into my ncurses libs. Thank you for your attention, Rafael Fernandez Lopez. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] ATI Mobility TV-OUT
Grant, I have some Pundit-R machines that may have a similar ATI chip. Mine is a 9100 IGP. What is in yours? On my Pundits I'm running xorg 7.0 and 8.27.10. I have S-Video working on one but not the other. I'm working on that as I write. If you think anything I have might be of use feel free to write me off-line. Like you I'm finding the ATI support in the Gentoo Wiki somewhat out of date for 7.0 and the newer drivers. Much of what used to work on these machines no longer works at all.

Re: [gentoo-user] ATI Mobility TV-OUT
On 9/3/06, Grant [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a Dell Inspiron 7500 laptop with an ATI Mobility video card. It has an S-video TV-out port that I can't get working. I've read all kinds of stuff about it online, but I'm unsure which way to go. I'm using the ati driver right now but I've read that the ati-gatos driver might be better. I haven't even turned this laptop on in quite a while so it's running a lot of old stuff. Should I update x11-xorg to 7.0 and use a particular VIDEO_CARD flag and see if that works? How should my xorg.conf look? TV-out is probably one of the worst-supported things in X right now. There is no official X.Org driver that supports it. The gatos driver purports to, although it may not work with 7.1. Also I think someone posted a patch to the xorg list a few months ago to add it to the ati driver. If you're able to use the binary drivers with your card, you may have better luck there. I'm running out of steam on this for now, but this seems to be the key component: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127642 it's a patch for xorg 7.0 to enable TV-out with the ati driver. The old laptop I'm trying to set this up on needs some of work before it's up to speed and I can test this. Grant - Here's where I got to today: 1) My machines use the ATI 9100 IGP chipset. No 3D accel. The machines have both composite video and S-Video outputs. 2) Back under 2.6.16 I used ati-drivers-8.14.x. I had to patch the drivers by hand. That was painful but well documented on one of the online forums. 3) The 8.14 driver is no longer in portage and apparently doesn't work with the 2.6.17 kernels. 4) I got 8.28.8 working today using the following extra line in the aticonfig-Device[0] section created by aticonfig: Option ForceMonitors nocrt1,nocrt2,tv 5) What I found was that during the boot I get text on both the composite video and S-Video outputs. However, when X starts the graphic output is only on the S-Video output. This is different than the older driver where X was available on both. 6) All of that said I've now got both Pundit-R's working. However the video quality is far worse than the previous driver. It appears that I'm getting just a few frames of video every second. Video from MythTV is very jerky and seems to 'tear' a bit. 7) Note that this doesn't seem to be nearly as bad when I configure the machines to use the CRT output. I'm going to investigatge buying some sort of VGA-S-Video or Composite video converter. That may work better and not require all this crazy work. All in all, very disappointing. I understand the Gentoo devs had their hands tied on a lot of this stuff but it's disappointing to have working drivers get dropped from portage or the driver developers at ATI not continue to move features forward. Or maybe it's still me and my lack of real configuration knowledge. Hope this helps, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

(I am running an AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+) emerge -uav gcc The result was: The first package (it was not the gcc), what was tried to compile, failed with Compiler cannot create output (or similiar, dont remember exactly...) Looks like, as the new CHOST results in looking for /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu (which is not existing) instead of /usr/lib/gcc/i386-pc-linux-gnu (which still does exist). Ok, but when I reset CHOST to i386* again, the new glibc will fail to compile, since it insist of haveing a CPU better then i386* (which was the inital reason for posting my problems.) Do I have a recursive Armageddon here ? Since I will replace gcc, would it be a soultion to rename all occurences of i386-pc-linux-gnu in my root directory tree with i686-pc-linux-gnu ??? Or symlink it? Or do I shoot myself just in my other foot this way?

[gentoo-user] OT - gdm screen resolution problem
