[gentoo-user] Hibernate and a few other things have gone missing
Hi all, I've been doing sort of regular syncs and emerge worlds, every couple of days, but not really paying attention to changes as they have happened. On the other hand I've read, or rather I think I have read, the news and comments/warnings that appear after the emerge world and can't remember anything groundbreaking that I had to follow up. Today I noticed a few things have disappeared and was wondering if anyone had the same problems. 1) Hibernate has disappeared from the Leave option in the KDE menu 2) My Dolphin has lost some mappings to an NTFS disk that I dual boot to. On the left hand side of Dolphin there's a panel, Places I think it's called, where you can put commonly used dir's. Network mappings I have are still there but the NTFS dir's has gone walkabout. 3) Dolphin no longer automagically places into Places, the thingy mentioned above in 2), memory sticks when I insert them. In fact if automounting is working shouldn't something appear in the /media dir? I'm getting nothing in there. Does anyone know of any changes that have happened recently that could have caused this or has my machine just decided to be flakey on my. Any thoughts, greatly appreciated, Andrew

[gentoo-user] x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.7.0: Use flag udev seems compulsory.
Hi, Gentoo. I've just emerge --sync'd, and there's a massive amount of X server updates. When I try emerge -auND, I get told: The following USE changes are necessary to proceed: #required by x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.7.0, required by x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.12[input_devices_evdev] =x11-base/xorg-server-1.12.2 udev . So I need the udev use flag. This is somewhat distressing, since I've been running my system on busybox's mdev for several months. It's looking like I'll not be able to continue doing so. Any suggestions, anybody, how I can now best proceed? -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).

These CF adapters only have 2 screw holes (made to go into laptops, not mounted in a cage), so I can't mount them *properly* in the cage... anyone know where I can get 2.5 'shell' cases that I could install these cards in so I can mount them properly?

[gentoo-user] Any recommendations for PCI-X SATA cards?
I need to get a PCI-X SATA card. Two drives is fine, or 8, even tho I can't fit 8 drives in the box. This is for bulk storage, so I don't mind if it can only handle 100 Mhz or even less. My mainboard can't go over 133 Mhz. They are 64 bit 3.3v slots. One thing I don't want is RAID; I will be using LVM to roll my own.

Can you upgrage to glibc-2.15?
Sure. It's going to be another full reinstall.
Forgot to try this. Will do tomorrow.
Can you tweak you gcc flags to something more conventional and see if the
problem persists?
Those CFLAGS should be equivalent to:
CFLAGS=-O2 -pipe -ggdb3 --march=native.
But I'll try making it just -O2 -pipe --march=native.
Just an update: Tried CFLAGS=-O2 -pipe --march=native -ggdb3. Same results.
If you are interested in submitting a patch to the upstream then you can
build
the glibc test suite with your gcc flags and check if the tests pass.
I do still have a working gentoo laptop I could try this on...but it
has an i3 proc, as opposed to the core 2 xeon or the phenom 9650. Have
a link to instructions?
For anyone following or interested, this is now reported as bug
