Mick might like to try that, perhaps. I assume the effect will be the same.

[Ian Zimmerman]

It's about one year now since I locked myself in my room for a month and
installed gentoo :-)

It has been an interesting and sometimes rough ride, but I learned many
thing along the way, and I got what I wanted: a desktop GNU/Linux that
just does the things I want it to, without stupid frills.

Many thanks to the developers and all others that helped me in this list.

Okay, I also switched to "ultra-fast boot mode" so this implicitly
disabled CSM for me... But I need the ksm driver module to finally get
rid of this message if I remember correctly. It's called nvidia-modeset:

BTW: You also need a video bios with UEFI GOP support (or something like
that). Current cards have it, older may need a firmware upgrade which
can sometimes be obtained from the manufacturer. MSI has a forum where
you can request one. It may take some time, but they send it.

For my previous nvidia card I had to get and flash such a firmware.

Some bios versions may allow disabling csm only when UEFI GOP support
is there.

I had a similar issue on Windows. I was under the impression the high
resolutions were already supported in the drivers, but I suppose
support was added later, after the device's sale.

Sadly I can't comment as to whether support is now in the drivers. You
might want to consider updating more frequently.

Dell latitude E7450 with intel 915 graphics, gnome 3, systemd.

lspci:
VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 5500 (rev 09)

I just bought a new dell 34" curved monitor (U3417).
It's max res is 3440X2560, but at that res it complains that no signal
is coming.  It works fine at other res (including 2560x1440).

The dell manual says to get new drivers and I am indeed running an old

to build and employ it this summer.

Has high res support been added to the intel graphics driver?

That's what I meant. How about the

  AddOutputFilter INCLUDES 

line from my previous mail? Do you have that anywhere in your config,
for the  of the file that is trying to include another?

Our default Apache config has it commented-out in 00_mod_mime.conf, and
only for the "shtml" extension. If that's what you want, you can simply
uncomment it; or if you need something more fancy you might have to add
your own AddOutputFilter lines.

[gentoo-user] Qt-4.8.7 bug

[Peter Humphrey]

Hello list,

Today's update broke KMail. 15 dev-qt packages were upgraded from 4.8.6 to 
4.8.7, and when I logged out, restarted xdm and logged in again, KMail's 
folder list showed all the folders in red, and the other two panes were 
blank. Akonadiconsole showed the LAN Mail agent offline, broken.

In case anyone else falls over this one, I've raised this bug; it's been 
confirmed by one other user so far:

Has anyone found a fix for this?

Hmm.

$ emerge -pv apache

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Or is that not what you meant?

Maybe I need a different MPM.

I tried adding x2apic_phys, but dmesg output did not change.

>From wikip;
"In 2012, AMD announced their *Advanced Virtual Interrupt Controller* (
*AVIC*) targeting interrupt overhead reduction in virtualization
environments.[33]
 This
technology has materialize in hardware and (as announced) does not support
x2APIC .[34]
 In 2016,
AVIC is available on the AMD family 15h models 6Xh (Carrizo) processors and
newer.[35]" 

So;
FX-8350 processors (bulldozer gen2) dont have AVIC
Carrizo processors (bulldozer gen4), have AVIC, but AVIC doesnt support
x2apic
seems reasonable to conclude that there's no x2apic on bulldozer gen2, and
that's why there's nothing in dmesg about it.

On the Skylake box, yes, FX box, no.

This is usually due to CSM being enabled in the mainboard's settings. If 
you use UEFI with the EFI console kernel driver, but you still get this 
in dmesg:


 NVRM: Your system is not currently configured to drive a VGA console
 NVRM: on the primary VGA device. The NVIDIA Linux graphics driver
 NVRM: requires the use of a text-mode VGA console. Use of other console
 NVRM: drivers including, but not limited to, vesafb, may result in
 NVRM: corruption and stability problems, and is not supported.

then CSM is the reason. One of the issues is restoring the framebuffer 
after resuming.


CSM is the "Compatibility Support Module" of UEFI. When enabled, the 
graphics card is being initialized by CSM, not by UEFI, and the nvidia 
driver doesn't fully support this.


Some mainboards allow you to disable CSM. Unfortunately, not all do.

The issue with nvidia's driver is that it doesn't play well with CSM 
enabled in the BIOS. If you have the option to disable CSM, then it 
should work.


CSM is the "Compatibility Support Module" of UEFI. With it enabled, the 
graphics card is initialized by CSM, not by UEFI, and that it not fully 
supported by nvidia. If you use UEFI with the EFI console driver but 
still get this in dmesg:


 NVRM: Your system is not currently configured to drive a VGA console
 NVRM: on the primary VGA device. The NVIDIA Linux graphics driver
 NVRM: requires the use of a text-mode VGA console. Use of other console
 NVRM: drivers including, but not limited to, vesafb, may result in

then the issue is that you have CSM enabled. Unfortunately, some 
mainboards do not provide an option to disable CSM.
