[gentoo-user] xorg/mesa/steam problem
Hi Gentoo Users, For some time now i'm playing around with steam4linux and the open-source radeon drivers. Yesterday i've tried to play the games on my multi-monitor (3 screens) setup. Basically most of the games dosn't support multi-monitor and would show up the game on the primary or top left screens. However there were two games were it actually sort of worked. Defcon and Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Unfortunately i have a big issue. The games itself seems to run nicly, but i can't move my mouse freely. I can move my mouse from the left side to not even to the middle of the middle screen, which means i cant start any of those games. (the menues are in the middle) My question now is, where should i made an bug-report? If the problem would be just at one game i would say its a problem of the game. But two completly different games with exact the same problem? My think it could be a problem in xorg-server or mesa? What do you think? Michael
[gentoo-user] emerge with --changed-use
A new useflag, tinfo, has been added for ncurses. I would have expected ncurses not to be rebuilt when I specify --changed-use, but portage does want to rebuild it. This isn't causing me any problem, but I'd like to understand what's going on. I guess I should note that I'm using portage-2.1.11.50 and that I'm one of those hardheads who has USE=-* in make.conf. I currently have ncurses-5.9-r2 installed with USE=cxx gpm static-libs unicode -ada -debug -doc -minimal -profile -trace. $ emerge -pvuD --changed-use @world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Re: [gentoo-user] Changing static IP remotely...
Probably the safest thing you can do I use install scripts and so can have two system copies in tandem easily (aided by OpenBSD being simply brilliant with 0 kernel updates) and test out any procedure for a remote server locally with a VM before doing anything. -- ___ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.

That's exactly what --changed-use is supposed to avoid, as I understand it. man emerge puts it this way: Unlike --newuse, the --changed-use option does not trigger reinstallation when flags that the user has not enabled are added or removed.

I did read something about that here in the last few months and forgot about it. I've been typing emerge -auND world for so long I don't even think about it. Reading the manpage I see that there is no short-option for --changed-use, so I suppose I'll write a shell script to type that long-option for me because I'll forget it again. Seems to me that most of us lusers would want --changed-use to be the default behavior, no?
