There isn't room to install Gentoo alongside Xandros on a 4GB Eee. Either install Gentoo to an SD card for now or bite the bullet and wipe Xandros before installation. I was hoping to use your suggestion(unless I misunderstood): Boot with eeexubuntu from a USB and use its tools to install gentoo on the SSHD. I'd like to install a stripped down version of gentoo: no gimp, office, kde...nothing I can't run on my home PC that can get by on a slow dialup.

[gentoo-user] Where to put own keyboard variants
Hi,
some time ago I created a variant for the us xkb-layout by adding
partial alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols my_variant {
include latin
//my changes here
};
to /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us. That worked pretty well but during the
recent xorg-update, the file was overridden. Luckily I had a backup, but
that shows that it wasn't the supposed place for my changes.
So where can I store my us-variant, so that X finds the layout, but the
changes survive updates (I was thinking of a place in /etc or ~, but I
don't know where X is looking for such files).
Thanks for any help,
Sebastian

[gentoo-user] Does -Wl,--hash-style=gnu need a full world rebuild?
Hi. According to discussion on gentoo-dev http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/msg_50182554f851bedb82f8a349fbc90352.xml it seems the only reasons for -Wl,--hash-style=gnu not being default (yet) are these headaches for the developers: 1) Apparently it does not work on mips 2) Apparently it needs =glibc-2.5 and =binutils-2.17.50.0.2 My PC is x86 and my toolchain is obviously more recent than these old verions, so apparently the flag is completely safe. I've enabled it in /etc/make.conf and I like the slight reduction in binary size. My main question is: Can I just compile new packages with this flag, or do I need to recompile the whole world? In other words, is there any incompatibility between binaries linked with this flag and binaries linked with the default hash-style (which in Gentoo is --hash-style=both, AFAIK)?

Any ideas on this one? Yes, that's exactly the same setup I had when I had the segfault. Under the old xorg-x11 you had an xorg.conf file which set everything up specifically as you wanted it. The new xorg-x11 is trying to change that, but only defaults to the new way if: 1) You turn on hald 2) You have INPUT_DEVICES=evdev in /etc/make.conf when you build the new xorg-x11 3) You remove or rename your old xorg.conf to some other name. When there is no xorg.conf file apparently the new version attempts to use hald to determine your hardware and set things up automatically. It works, or did for me, in the sense that X comes up and I can see Gnome. However in that mode mythfrontend was segfaulting. I then took my copied xorg.conf.old file and renamed it back to xorg.conf, restarted X and mythfrontend didn't segfault anymore. You should take a look at /var/log/Xorg.o.log file carefully. Somewhere in that file there is a sort of picture of how the new xorg.conf file is being handled automatically - it shows 3 screens in my case - one using my radeon driver and the other two using vesa and fbdev. My old xorg.conf didn't have all that stuff - only radeon - and the old one works. One other thought I had was that maybe mythfrontend needs to be rebuilt after the conversion to the new xorg-x11. Maybe it's not linking correctly against the new libraries. I don't know. Hope this helps. If you need or want more info let me know. - Mark
