It's helpful if you can subscribe to email updates, and help test when revisions are available. Sometimes an ebuild is posted to as an attachment to the bug - you download it and add it to your local overlay. Thus you may get the updated version before it's available in the Portage tree (some ebuilds are attached to bugs for packages which never become accepted) and you can at least add a works for me comment and encourage the devs by remarking how useful it is to you. And even if you've got nothing new to contribute to the problem, you can vote for bugs that are important to you.
[gentoo-user] Bug

From one of your former posts, it seems that you have problems with the free space on your disk and the fact that k3b doesn't realise that there is not enough free space. Well whether k3b knows it or not, there is 320Gbs of space left. I did some more testing and the drive really doesn't do anything now. Even hdparm can't read all the info so I ordered a drive about 12 hours ago. I have had this brand before so maybe it will be OK. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827136144 I should have it in a couple days. I only live about a 3 hour drive from the newegg warehouse. ;-) P. S. Also headed to newegg to see what a new burner costs. Jörg, do you have any recommendations on a really good burner that has few issues with software? I hear that some have software issues and figure I may as well avoid that if I need a new one. Since NEC/Sony - Optiarc is fully owned by Sony conce more than a year and since Sony fired people because made wrong assumptions on their market share, I hae no longer any contact to the manufacturing industry. Jörg I thought it worth asking at least. Maybe the one I got will work. I got to check and see if my old one is under warranty too. I haven't had it that long I don't think. Thanks much. Dale :-) :-)
Re: [gentoo-user] Bug
Dale, Thanks for following up. HOw do you start a new thread? It is slightly annoying when you change a setting and reverts back to the original; the whole (computer) system should be more user friendly. Either way, it is good that there is an easy fix, which I will do. I will have much more complex issues to discuss shortly.

I am not sure that the above is causing the issue, but my KDE infrequently
crashes, which I did not have before with earlier versions of xorg or KDE. I am
not very bothered by this issue right now but would like to see if we can get
to the root of the problem. If need be, how would one go back to a previous
version of xorg, like 1.5.3?

Hi Dale,
to get out of X (or not-so-X in your case :O)
) you dont need the
sysreqs every time. since they are somehow a
'very hard hrmmm
feature' ;).
Look into your Xorg.conf file under /etc/X11
and look for dont zap
or something like that (I removed this from my
xorg.conf ;) ) and
remove that (or better comment it out).
After that you kann kill X without disturbing
the kernel (and risk
your data) with ALT-Backspace. You will get
back a console. Log in
as root and do a telinit 2 since the setuo
still think of running
runlevel 5 without X and this is not a sane
setup: Runlevel 5 is
with X and runlevel 2 is without X.
To restart X the clean way do teleinit 5 as
root.
HTH
Keep hacking!
mcc
Well when it locks up hard, nothing works not even
sysreq. That was
the first time it failed me. I'm not sure
what made it lock up tho.
Oh, ctrl alt backspace doesn't do anything
either.
Dale
:-) :-)
Hi Dale,
you have to remove this Dont Zap-Option from your
xorg.conf first.
Should work then.
But of course: If a busmaster (in this case your
GraphicsCard) doesnot
release the bus...no way for little folks little some
tiny keys

Re: [gentoo-user] xorg-server 1.7.
Phylip, First of all, I currently do have a functioning xorg server; but not sure if it is working as well as it should, based on the reported errors. Does anyone know what are the libXxf86dga libXxf86vm libraries as compared to the proto variety? They seem to be the offending packages pulled in by kde-base. The way I read the error messages, to emerge the xorg-server, the above packages need to be gone and the proto variety packages will be than emerged. Someone at Gentoo put in a block between the 2 package varieties, so working around this seems to be wrong. Why aren't the xorg and kde packages communicating?

Re: [gentoo-user] Bug
Dale, Your fix worked, so far so good. Previously, I tried setting the time from KDE and using the date function and both were overridden on re-boot. One would think that either one of these functions would override the factory presets. I see 'date' is a binary file. Does kde also use this function to change its time and date? Where would one find the source package for 'date'?

Re: [gentoo-user] No Mousewheel in X and ctrl-alt-backspace not working
If you are still having trouble with xorg, the best source of error information is the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log, which is created every time you run xorg. Also, the Gento web site has several articles on xorg which can provide additional help, although not all information is in one place. There I found that you can add the alt_control_backspace control into the conf file under Options: Option: XkbdOptions terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp. I have never dried this myself.

Re: [gentoo-user] problem updating python
The current Python version is at least 3.1. When I had an issue with an upgrade

I was told that this was not even a bug. My solution was to reload tho complete

My guess that part of the problem may be that you are emerging an older version

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: xorg 1.9
Nikos, Thanks for the help. My system is looking for the i915 module. Would you know where the module needs to be? Thanks.

When the new system did not work, I checked the xorg log (attached) and I thought that the problem was the mode setting. So in the kernel, I enabled the modesetting by default and now the card does not send any signals to the screen at all. I can go back to the old kernel settings. But does anyone know what was the initial problem, and what needs to be done to correct this. Thanks for any advice. You seem to be using kernel 2.6.32. That *might* be the problem. Try 2.6.36. Other than that, the usual stuff applies: Delete your xorg.conf (so that X.Org can automatically configure everything) and make sure you don't have VESAFB enabled in the kernel.
