I'm using nvidia, so I had to wait for the 9xxx driver release before I could use it... :-( I was under the impression AIGLX was dying in favour of Xgl. Well, I'll do my research :) Quite the other way around, as far as I've been able to tell. Xgl got greater publicity, yes, but AIGLX is the one that will eventually be the official solution - it's already present in Portage's xorg-server in some form. By the way, the latest beta drivers from nVidia provide the OpenGL extension that Compiz and Beryl use, so you don't even need AIGLX nor Xgl, and DRI can remain enabled (wobbly quake3! ^_^). My laptop at the moment has no overlays at all - xorg-server from ~x86, compiz from ~x86, and nvidia-drivers in package.unmask - and it's all working very nicely. :) Hopefully other driver devs will follow suit. I find the task switcher that displays live images of the windows, and the scale effect (move the cursor to a corner of the screen and all windows shrink and tile on the screen, and then you click on the one you want to switch to) to be the most useful, Yes, an Exposè-like thing would be really useful. Is it *fast*? Yes. I tried compiz+AIGLX on my old Celeron 1.5GHz with integrated motherboard video (eeew!) just for kicks and it ran fairly smoothly - modest framerate, but definitely usable. If you mean literally fast, then also yes - all of the animations happen within half a second or so (not that I've measured ;)). There's a key shortcut, too, if you want to see jiggly windows in slow-mo. (shift-f10 is the default, I believe? Someone help me out on that one.) although I could watch my windows wobble and jiggle all day! lol! That is awfully cute. :) My favorite feature is the window scaler. Oh, and the way the rest of the desktop sort of drops into the background while Alt-Tabbing - it's subtle but cool. For simple things like shadows and transparency, that could be done independently of the window manager. But for more complicated effects, like the task switcher, or being able to animate window operations, or flash windows that want attention, or the desktop cube thingy, you need tighter integration with the window manager. Sigh. I see. I wonder if/when common WMs/DEs will support these things out of the box (KDE, XFCE and Fluxbox are my favourites :) ) It depends on how important the WM is to the whole thing, you see. Compiz and its fork, Beryl, work very well with Gnome and KDE because the window manager isn't very important to them - it does very little besides manage windows, while (in Gnome for example) gnome-session and Nautilus do a lot of work as well. There's even a separate program that handles window decorations (gnome-window-decorator in Gnome, kwin I think in KDE). On the other hand, with Fluxbox, Openbox, and similar, the WM is all there is, so it's a big deal to change it. You can't have Compiz integration in Fluxbox, since they both do the same thing, and will refuse to run at the same time. I have, however, heard rumours of an Openbox clone with some Compiz code spliced into it in initial development... :D m. Ryan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

David Corbin wrote: I've considered the idea of a custom distribution to do this. There is no doubt in my mind, that any such distribtuion would be based on an existing one, with tweaks that deal with where updates come from, and what packages are availble, etc. Gentoo or Debian are the two likely candidates. I'm not *sure* a customized distribution is appropriate. There's an excellent reason why Gentoo is seriously leaning towards calling itself a metadistribution. Look into tools such as catalyst. You can build LiveCDs for installing into a known-good environment, Stage 4 archives that require minimal configuration after installation, or even (since, as you mentioned, the targets fall into a few distinct categories) full disc images on (a) local staging box(es) and simply image everything across to the targets. If you're uncomfortable with having a production system loaded with gcc, portage, and such, you can build your own releases locally, and simply batch update the targets when convenient. The images built by catalyst are *not* required to contain portage or the portage tree. Portage and catalyst are *very* powerful tools if you look into their depths. Rsync and friends used in conjunction with a local staging system can IMO make maintaining such a system incredibly easy. Yes, I'm available for consulting. :P -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] DRI? ATI X300 PCIe
fire-eyes wrote: Hi, I am interested in getting my ATI X300 (r300 or r370, conflicting info out there), which is a PCIe card, working with DRI with open source drivers. I am using xorg-x11-7.1 . r370 is the chipset on the card, r300 is the (experimental) DRI driver that would be supporting it. Any ideas? I am specifically looking for ways of doing this not including messing with overlays, that is a major pain, and (opinon) I shouldn't have to do that anyway. Set VIDEO_CARDS=radeon or USE=video_cards_radeon, and emerge -N xorg-x11. Worked for me (Radeon 9600 XT) as of the first X -configure run, with no additional messing about. The driver name is radeon if you like to do xorg.conf by hand. Disclaimer: The DRI functionality is still experimental. Some functions (specular lighting in particular) don't behave exactly as expected. For example, a couple of XScreensaver hacks don't work quite right for me. Still a darn sight better than software, though... ;) Cheers. HTH. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

The only useful measure I can think about, is to do rate limiting. But what else? Alexander Skwar Point taken, and agreed with. I retract the crazy not to part; however, some netfilter/iptables features can be very handy in limiting access to said services (e.g. dropping all SSH connections not coming from your IP).

Assuming your packages are all up to date security-wise (glsa-check) and you're running a firewall of some kind (and you'd be crazy not to for any publically accessible box), there isn't much stuff you can do (without investing a bunch of time and effort in learning new things) besides change your passwords a bit more frequently and keep a close eye on logs from network-accessible programs (sshd, httpd, firewall). -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

If that doesn't pose a major problem, then # emerge -C xorg-server # emerge -D ati-drivers Simply installing the ati-drivers should automatically pull in the newest xorg-server that they will work with. There's a thread somewhere on forums.gentoo.org, and another one a while back on gentoo-dev, explaining the reason for the block. When I first started with the ati-drivers, Xorg 6.8 was the latest available, but they would only work with 6.7 - so we had to wait until ATI released a new version before we could use 6.8. Waiting a few weeks for the very latest xorg-server build won't kill you. ;) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] kalarm still broken -- revdep-rebuild fails; need mass unmerge of old KDE things
Kevin O'Gorman wrote: It reported a bunch of problems with KDE itself. Mostly with old versions, so I'd like to unmerge them. But I'm a bit unsure how to do that. Do I have to unmerge the component packages one by one, or is there some way to name all of the components of KDE 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 with one or three collective names? You still have kde-3.2 installed?? You've been around Gentoo longer than I have, that's for sure! In any case: emerge --prune kde kde-meta emerge --pretend depclean emerge depclean Even if I do this, there remain some current complaints from revdep-rebuild: broken /usr/kde/3.5/lib/kde3/libkaddrbk_geo_xxport.so (requires libkabinterfaces.so.1) broken /usr/kde/3.5/lib/kde3/libkaddrbk_gmx_xxport.so (requires libkabinterfaces.so.1) Plus some relating to openoffice-bin (I'm going to see if switching to plain openoffice helps) and one relating to perl that stumps me because it comes from the imagemagick package itself, and so presumably should know what version of its own libraries to use: broken /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/i686-linux/auto/Image/Magick/Magick.so (requires libMagick.so.6) I guess I'll re-emerge imagemagick and see if it helps. The correct procedure is to re-merge the package whose binary is doing the complaining, rather than the one whose library is being complained about. A nonexistent libMagick.so.6 isn't a problem that will be solved by re-merging imagemagick; the solution is to re-merge perl, which will update its link to your newer version of imagemagick. I don't know what KDE package the KDE libs up there belong to; try running them through 'equery belongs', and re-merging the relevant package. When doing simple replacement merges like this, it's useful to use the --oneshot or -1 option to emerge so that you don't get extra stuff dumped into world, such as a KDE lib that's normally only a dependency. more complaining This whole area seems a lot less automated than most of the portage stuff. I know gentoo is a DIY type distribution, but this proceedure looks to me like a magnet for operator error (not to mention confusion) and could use some attention. /more complaining Unfortunately, your system doesn't seem to have been getting the proper maintenance it needs in terms of keeping dynamic linking up to date and cleaning out older versions of stuff. In such a case - yes, it does take a bit of work to get things running smoothly. Revdep-rebuild is a fairly good program considering what it's being asked to do, but it isn't perfect - sometimes you just have to do a bit of digging to find out what's broken. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
