[gentoo-user] libungif??
It seems libungif has been deprecated, but I'd like to install a program that requires it. Should there be any conflicts if I have libungif and giflib installed on one system?
[gentoo-user] no text in certain flash app
Hi, I've noticed that in linux(in all browsers), I cannot see the text on this page. http://musictheory.net/lessons/html/id10_en.html There is supposed to be different text each time you hit the 'next' slide, but I see none. Kinda sucks because this site is very useful. I have www-plugins/adobe-flash version 10.0.45.2 installed. -- -Tony

I didn't ever see any text except for the letters that correspond to the notes. I'm assuming that the text would be almost to the bottom of the page tho. If that is correct then I can confirm it is not there with Seamonkey 2, Firefox and Konqueror. Those are the browsers I have installed. There is definitely supposed to be text on the bottom of the page. Glad its not just me. I'm probably just going to find a music theory program that isnt a webpage. -- -Tony

Sorry about that, this /opt/gfx-test/ directory was something I created to test a hand compiled X stack. It shouldn't be interfering with running the portage installed X stack, but I should make sure to be completely certain. Have you followed the Hardware Acceleration Guide's Kernel config directions? I've got the: Processor type and features --- * MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support Device drivers --- Graphics support --- M /dev/agpgart (AGP Support) --- M Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support) --- selected, as well as: M ATI Radeon After you mentioned this I decided to check my kernel configuration again. Device drivers --- Graphics support --- Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support) --- [*] Enable modesetting on radeon by default - NEW DRIVER Here's part of the description for this option: Choose this option if you want kernel modesetting enabled by default. This is a completely new driver. It's only part of the existing drm for compatibility reasons. It requires an entirely different graphics stack above it and works very differently from the old drm stack. i.e. don't enable this unless you know what you are doing it may cause issues or bugs compared to the previous userspace driver stack. When kernel modesetting is enabled the IOCTL of radeon/drm driver are considered as invalid and an error message is printed in the log and they return failure. This made me reconsider whether I should set this option or not... I gave it a try without the option set and I get direct rendering fine. t...@o_0 ~ $ glxinfo | grep render direct rendering: Yes OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R300 (RS400 5A62) 20090101 x86/MMX/SSE2 NO-TCL Now I have card0 in /dev/dri.

Would posting to the xorg or radeon mailing lists be good places for help as well? I have one idea: which Kernel are you using? I have gentoo-sources-2.6.33 installed. I read that the radeon devs recommend to use kernel versions =2.6.33 for KMS instead of 2.6.32. I also have 2.6.33. Just goes to show how different ones experience with the same software can be.
