[gentoo-user] vblank_mode is NOT respected

2009-07-21 Thread Andrew Gaydenko
Hi!

glxgears shows ~500 fps (instead of ~1500 at more lucky days) instead of ~60 
fps. All related info is here (X11 log, emerge info and such):

  http://gaydenko.com/tmp/x11/

Any thoughts? Must I supply additional info?

[gentoo-user] HOWTO stick a package

2009-07-11 Thread Andrew Gaydenko
Hi!

Currently I have xorg-server-1.6.1.901-r4 - as far as all newer ones don't 
work for me (I mean GL-related things with my intel graphics), while first one 
makes my son happy with few GL games. So I have masked all xorg-server 
versions which are later rather one currently installed.

Today after syncing the portage tree I was surprized this 1.6.1.901-r4 version 
is dropped, and emerge suggests to downgrade to 1.5.x, while I want to stick 
to currently installed. 

How to say portage to "keep this as is"?

It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the
dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be
installed simultaneously.

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page
or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

No, I don't use Paludis. What do you mean saying  "has automatically resolved
all blocks"? Do you mean you have added those qt3support flags and started 
emerging and got successfull upgrading to 4.5.2 without any problems and in 
spite of those blocks?

[gentoo-user] qt3support conflict

2009-06-27 Thread Andrew Gaydenko
Trying to upgrade to qt 4.5.2:

kde4 wants qt3support for qt-core:

x11-libs/qt-core-4.5.2 (Change USE: +qt3support)
(dependency required by "x11-libs/qt-qt3support-4.5.2" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "kde-base/kteatime-4.2.4" [installed])
(dependency required by "kde-base/kdetoys-meta-4.2.4" [installed])
(dependency required by "kde-base/kde-meta-4.2.4" [installed])

OK, let's try:

adding  qt3support to qt-core wants qt3support for qt-gui
adding  qt3support to qt-gui wants qt3support for qt-sql
adding  qt3support to qt-sql conflicts with x11-libs/qt-opengl - last one 
insits on -qt3support for qt-core.

At ~amd64. Where is my mistake?

[gentoo-user] KDE4 halts - how to catch a reason?

2009-06-04 Thread Andrew Gaydenko
Last week or two (I mostly use Gnome and can not say more precisely) after 
KDE4 starting session apps starts also, as well as bg and panels. But then I 
get black screen (during this KDE4 start process), and Ctrl-Alt-Backspace does 
nothing. The only way I have in hand to continue is to use SysRq kernel

Have you an idea how to catch the halt reason?

[gentoo-user] KDE4 desktops interference

2009-05-07 Thread Andrew Gaydenko
Say, on desktop 1 I have started konsole with long emerging of something (i.e. 
konsole window is changing continuously). At the same time I have started 
supertuxkart for my son on the desktop 2. The game window has black blinking 
rectangular with the same position and size as the konsole window (canvas 
itself) has. The same "effect" takes place with replacing active konsole with. 
say, firefox download window (progress bar and text are blinking).

It iseems I have some gl tuning to perform. ~amd64 and intel video card are in 
use. Thoughts?

OK, as Stroller has suggested, I have cleaned heatsink, replaced heat-
conducting paste and so on. Now it would be nice to have something for quick 
GPU load testing (instead of long-long KDE session). Can anybody suggest an 
appropriate sw or, may be, some game with "hard and heavy" (wrt GPU load) 
demo?

Say, bottom panel hasn't something special: std menu, lancelot, tasks, tray 
and clock. Can overheating be such selectable? - I mean only KDE4 panels- 
related problem takes place (say, my sone plays few games without any 
problems, as well as, say, OOo/Qt/KDE and so on emerging ). And I didn't 
overclocked something. But have added few additional silent coolers inside a 
case :-)

There is a shot of my screen (1.4MB, look at bottom and right panels):

http://gaydenko.com/tmp/shot01.png

which I get periodically after few hours working under KDE - at some moment 
crazy things happen :-) There is very long software chain from kernel video 
driver (intel in my case for on-board G965) to KDE4 itself (~amd64). As a 
result, I'm not sure where to dig in.

Has anybody ideas about a reason of such "beauty" panels? :-)

Aha... Thanks - have looked at the kernel config - have not selected any 
device in the "Joysticks/Gamepads" (tte list is below). Must I select all the 
modules with a hope X will be smart enough to load a needed module? Or - which 
one is appropriate at my case?

xorg-server 1.5.3-r5 is in use.

...with the same error shown below (the error takes place for, say,

If you did install kdelibs, then the Qt version that is picked up by

The Qt Plugin installed by kdelibs is *ONLY* loadable if it is the

Dale, you are right. I have tried gphoto2 from CLI - the error takes place.

BTW, is evdev usable already? Some time ago I have tried it, but have not

Option  "XkbLayout" "us,ru(winkeys)"

Hi!

Is there a way to predict which dependecies will be unsatisfied at case of 
unmerging some package without real unmerging?

Aha, life is nice now :-) Thanks! 

Do you mean (besides using upstream sources) your kernel config has N for 
wacom module, and linuxwacom package has kernel_linux flag? Have you overlay 
ebuild for 0.8.1-6?




[gentoo-user] [OT] unloading wacom module

2008-11-23 Thread Andrew Gaydenko
Hi!

After adding wacom bamboo I have a problem: at exiting from X (any DE - KDE, 
Gnome. fluxbox) DE freezes. I have found in Xorg.log there is a problem of 
unloading wacom module:

Backtrace:
0: X(xf86SigHandler+0x65) [0x482c25]
1: /lib/libc.so.6 [0x7f012ad85ee0]

Wacom-related xorg.conf fragment is below. linuxwacom package is installed 
with  "gtk usb" flags. ~amd64 up to date system is in use.

Thoughts? Must I supply additional info?

[gentoo-user] fake printers

2008-11-17 Thread Andrew Gaydenko
Hi!

At KDE3 days I have usee three additional (wrt "real printer" - Kyocera at my 
case) instances: one with turned off duplexing and rest ones with (pstops 
based) filters.

Those happy KDE3 days have gone, and new goal is arised: to configure such 
three additional fake printers which would be visible by KDE4, Gnome, OOo... 

Can anybody 

- approve such configuration is possible,
- point me at appropriate infromation to dig in?

There ia an option (among others) "copy directory structure"

A workaround is to use java-overlay - that team has kindly prepared 3.4.1 for

Paul, thanks for the idea. Unfortunately it isn't a case: I have looked at 
'lsmod' output and 'messages' file - nothing with modules. And, as I have 
said, wheel rolling does *show* a (moveless) mouse cursor in console.

[gentoo-user] lazy mouse

2008-10-23 Thread Andrew Gaydenko
Hi!

Changing a mouse (to Genius Traveler 315 Laser) resulted in the problem: 
almost always after booting the mouse is not active (say, at level 3 wheel 
rolling shows a mouse cursor, but movement doesn't work, as well as in X).
Hot replugging to (any) USB port "cures" the problem for current session.

The world isn't perfect...
