[gentoo-user] esue -i for cpu flags
Hello
So I use this syntax all the time
esue -i {flagname}
for lots of information. It still works with most flags as
it always has (euse -i X). Lastly (since the new global CPU flag changes)
it does not work for the old cpu-specific flags. Why?
euse -i sse
global use flags (searching: sse)
no matching entries found
local use flags (searching: sse)
no matching entries found
yet this works:
equery hasuse sse

[gentoo-user] rdesktop problems 1.8.2 - 1.8.3
Hi, I'm using net-misc/rdesktop in order to get access to a VirtualBox (Windows) guest on a remote (also Gentoo) Linux: Windows PC with Gentoo Linux with - Gentoo Linux with Xming serverssh rdesktop programVirtualBox (Windows) From my Windows desktop PC (where Xming server is running), I use a PuTTY ssh to a Linux shell, call rdesktop -u ... -p ... hostname from there, and I get the Windows desktop from the remote host onto my own desktop. Until net-misc/rdesktop-1.8.2, everything worked like a charm. But with 1.8.3 (which portage installed this week), I can't mouse-click in the remote desktop window any more (and keypresses seem to be ignored either). Sometimes even the desktop isn't painted completely (only about 75% from top, doesn't reach the Windows task bar at the bottom). I have alread looked at the changelog at packages.gentoo.org, but only found some minor (?) bugfix - nothing about any fundamental issues or bigger changes... Downgraded to 1.8.2 - and everything works flawlessly again! What could it be that 1.8.3 doesn't work any more? -Matt

[gentoo-user] Nvidia and Radeon video cards in the same box.
First question should be, can this be done? I had 2 Nvidia videos cards, running 2 monitors, with X spanning both monitors. One card died and I replaced it with a Radeon video card. Can I still span X across the two monitors? Does the make/model of the cards matter at all? If the answer is yes, then my next step is figuring out why I can get either monitor to work alone, but can't get both of them to work together. More information will be provided once I know this is possible. Thanks much - Skippy

Thanks much - Skippy Hi Skippy I'm currently running a system with two monitors : one attached to the system board included radeon chip, and one attached to an nvidia card. I've compiled the kernel with the radeon driver, and the module from nvidia is loaded at start time. I've tested it with a single session spanning the two monitors and it worked. I'm using it in a multi-seat setting, with two keyboards and two mice. I don't recommend it because it's hard to manage sound, and even harder for OpenGL (the Gentoo wiki says it's impossible). With two cards, you can't rely on X11 automatic configuration, so you have to write your own xorg.conf, with PCI adresses and relative positions of the screens : Here is the configuration I found for single session on two screens : Section Device Identifier Radeon Driver radeon BusID PCI:1:5:0 EndSection Section Monitor Identifier LG17p VendorName LG EndSection Section Screen Identifier Screen1 Device Radeon MonitorLG17p EndSection Section Device Identifier Nvidia Driver nvidia BusID PCI:2:0:0 EndSection Section Monitor Identifier Iiyama24p VendorName Iiyama EndSection Section Screen Identifier Screen0 Device Nvidia MonitorIiyama24p EndSection Section ServerLayout Identifier default Screen 0 Screen0 0 0 Screen 1 Screen1 RightOf Screen0 EndSection To analyze problems, your best source is the xorg log file in your home directory.

Re: [gentoo-user] Making a new frame-buffer console font
On Tue, Feb 03, 2015 at 02:43:31PM +, Peter Humphrey wrote Hello list, This is to summarise what I did in case anyone else wants to do something similar. Last May I was looking for a font that would distinguish the upper-case letter O from the numbers 0 and 8 on a virtual TTY with a frame-buffer. My difficulty was twofold: the available unicode fonts were all too small, and the only bigger fonts I could find had an oblique stroke through the zero which made it look like an eight[1], and some of them even had serifs. The first step was to find a font that looked good. I chose terminus font, which included fonts up to 32 pixels tall and had an attractive and easily read shape to its characters. The second step was to find a font editor, and I found nafe[2]. I fetched it and compiled it locally. GCC threw out an error but the program seemed to work anyway. I followed its readme.txt and used the text editor joe to replace the oblique stroke in the zero with spaces, and to round the shoulders; I made sure I kept the line lengths the same, though it's supposed not to be necessary. Lastly I gzip'd the new font file. A bit of a tangent... do you know of any font editors that will convert a font to double-wide? E.g. convert 8x8 to 16x8, 8x12 to 16x12, or 8x16 to 16x16. The reason I ask is because I have a laptop with a 1280x800 screen. Back in the old days, the native VGA display would've been 80 columns across. But now with framebuffer drivers, the straight text display is almost unreadable 160 columns across. Going to the Sun 12x22 font gives me 107 columns across, but that's still not good. That's why I'm looking for 16-pixel-wide fonts, either freely available, or try to generate them from existing 8-pixel-wide fonts. -- Walter Dnes waltd...@waltdnes.org I don't run desktop environments; I run useful applications
