[gentoo-user] Linux traffic shaper setup advice
Hi Gentoo community, I have several computers at home and one Gentoo-powered router. I want to setup a very simple traffic shaper that will give each computer almost equal(the best choice - with some weight coefficient on each ip address) speed, without counting number of connections and etc. So, someone using torrent won't load whole pipe. One most important problem with it that I have fixed speed to the world and fixed speed to local resourses in my city, so I can't fix my up/down link speed to one fixed number, I actually have 2 speeds, depending on the IP address I'm accessing to. Any suggestions? -- best regards, Aleksey V. Kunitskiy

I think it's not a good idea. Because AMD X2 has dual channel memory controller, and memory bandwidth will fall in 2 times with one stick. 2*512MB not a big problem - I have 2*512M + 1G on one of my boxes - most of motherboards have 3-4 memory slots. -- best regards, Aleksey V.

[gentoo-user] xine audio skips

[gentoo-user] amd64 & 4G memory
Hi, I'm a bit confused, because before this moment I thought that 4G for amd64 platform is normal memory size... I've Asus a8n-e motherboard and AMD X2 cpu. Yesterday I've installed +1G memory to my already installed 3G. Before this my system showed that all 3072M of memory are avalible. After +1G instalation it shows 3948M of avalible memory. My questions are: where is the rest of the memory? Is 4G of memory a problem for amd64 cpu? What is going on there o_O ? -- best regards, Aleksey V.

Hi, I have two Samsung 971p monitors plugged via two DVI ports in xinerama mode. They work best for me. If you want to tune them under linux you can use ddccontrol [1], which is also in portage (note: 971p seem to be only in the latest ddc database, so if you'll not find this model there - try to unmask packages related to the ddccontrol) [1] http://ddccontrol.sourceforge.net/ good luck -- best regards, Aleksey V.

That is all you need. Except that you need color calibration or smth similar - you need software that shows you color tuning table, etc. In other words ddccontrol only allows you to change all of monitor parameters that are present in your model, it does not provide any test tools. -- best regards, Aleksey V.

I did not care about color calibration, because it have no sense if you do not have proffesional camera or printer, etc. So I have default settings.
