If it is, 10-bit hardware decoding is only supported in Kaby Lake or newer (this could explain it decoding in software/on CPU instead of GPU.) That's possible. Is there an easy way to tell? I also had to boot with UEFI or no hardware decoding happened at all. Mine was old enough to give you a choice but video performance suffered in BIOS boot mode. Damn - this is in BIOS mode... Very odd that makes a difference. Nice find. When I got my celeron-based NUC I discovered that just because the CPU has some hardware offloading doesn't mean software will use it. :( This box is a NUC (NUC6i5SYB) that im using for a media PC. Mine's an older Celeron. It struggled with 1080p video. I found back then (maybe six years ago?) a thread stating Intel locks out some hardware in BIOS mode so performance will suffer. All I did at the time was grind my teeth and fight it to get it to boot in UEFI mode, and I could see the hardware offload on 1080p was working correctly. I see from your other reply it is a 10-bit file, that would explain why hardware offloading doesn't work - it's not supported on that CPU. Have you tried an 8-bit encoded file to see if the hardware offloading works? Dan

In this case, it is safe to remove the file if USE=libglvnd is enabled, and to regenerate the file by running `eselect opengl set xorg` (or nvidia, ...) if USE=-libglvnd.

Re: [gentoo-user] Gaming on gentoo
Hi,
I try to have a systemd and pulseaudio free setup ("religious" reasons).
When I need pulse I use apulse and otherwise everything else is compiled
with alsa flag. I wonder if the issue is related to graphics
drivers/libraries instead. D remember having segfaults with some other
linux ports whirh were caused by a missing library which did not show up (I
do not remember the name but something with ?t3c?) but I think it is now in
mesa. .If you figure out what opengl features are being used we could
compare glxinfo outputs.
So, I tested quakespasm on an ryzen 7 apu (2700u) with vega gpu (thinkpad
e485). I am using mesa drivers and a linux 6.0.8 kernel.

USE=systemd is of by default for dbus so yu have something switching it on.
grep -r systemd /etc/portage
to find what
Additionally, virtual/tmpfiles has this:
RDEPEND="
|| (
sys-apps/opentmpfiles
sys-apps/systemd
Because you have systemd on somehow, portage is picking the second
chice. You have the first, so explicitly emerge opentmpfiles.
If both of those grep -r commands return nothing, then your next avenue
is your selected profile must be enabling wayland and systemd somehow.
But I don't see how profile [1] would do that ... so the greps will
likely reveal the true cause

No, the ! doesn't mean not there The ebuild in fact contains: RDEPEND==app-admin/eselect-1.2.4 !media-libs/mesa-10.3.4-r1 !=media-libs/mesa-10.3.5 !x11-proto/glproto-1.4.17-r1 !x11-base/xorg-server-1.16.2-r1 The last line must be read as the package cannot be installed if xorg-server version 1.16.2-r1 is present. Most deps are expressed as you must have this, but those 4 are expressed you must not have this. So the error message is correct, it is saying app-admin/eselect-opengl-1.3.1-r1 cannot be installed as you have a version of xorg-server earlier than 1.16.2-r1 already installed. There is no negation there. Solution: upgrade xorg-server then do everything else. Ok, that makes sense. Unmasking xorg-server is not an option because starting from 1.13 XAA support was removed and that makes my ancient video card too slow, I'll have to find a different solution. thanks, raffaele I also have an old(ish) maxtor card on a server and the removal of xaa means that it is unable to load a Ubuntu desktop, for example. What is meant to be the solution for these old cards that can't function without xaa? -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Ok. Thank you.
It even more strengthens my impression than I should first
play with reconfiguring the kernel.
I will do it a bit later, when the summer heat becames more tolerable. :)

I have loaded the new Gentoo system using the kernel from the old one
with no change in Firefox behaviour on https://www.privat24.ua/#login
page: it crashed as was described before.
So, playing with the kernel configuration will not help. :(

Yes, although unless this is a known bug they may point you to the devs of the

I have an older AMD card here, using amdgpu only. If I disable DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION I lose my framebuffer and end up with a black screen. When the sddm display manager starts I have a GUI again to login to Plasma with. This is to be expected in my case, because I rely on the KMS driver (KMS FB helpers) to provide a framebuffer device. Unless an AMD proprietary driver is available via amdgpu-pro to substitute for the KMS FB emulation, then you won't get a framebuffer device to render your tty console. > > It could be both.

[gentoo-user] Glxgears crashes X
Another day of probing finally got DRI working on my new machine: the basic problem was that Mesa needed recompiling with 'i810' enabled. Naturally (wry smile), this led to another show-stopper: X starts with no errors in the log, but 'glxgears' 'glxinfo' crash X. There is a brief back-trace, but it shows nothing immediately useful. There are many reports via Google Gentoo Forum of similar experiences, some of them as recent as Aug-Sep 2007, all involving Nvidia or Radeon, but none revealing a cause, let alone a solution. Might the problem involve a conflict between kernel/Xorg modules ? Is there some required combination of entries in xorg.conf ? -- 'man xorg.conf' is not the most helpful of documents, it not being clear what many of the options etc really do. The processor is an Intel G33 using drivers 'i810' 'i915' ; kernel 2.6.22-r8 ; 64-bit system .

Yeah I would say that you're probably out of luck for right now. You might want to try the proprietary drivers with XGL, since the seperate XGL server along with the new mesa provides much of the stuff that's missing in current driver implementations.

Re: [gentoo-user] Xgl and direct rendering or 'Would you like Xorg or Xgl, sir?'
On 1/19/07, Jan Stępień [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: When entering default runlevel GDM starts and launches both servers. First one, Standard, has got direct rendering turned on and OpenGL is rendered by fglrx driver. OpenGL apps work fine. On the other hand second server, Xgl, has not got direct rendering, and what is most suspicious, it uses Mesa drivers, which cause Beryl to run at an absolutely unacceptable performance. Why both servers are not rendered using fglrx? Have you got any ideas how to do it? Have you checked your /var/log/Xorg.*.log files? They should reflect why the Xgl server is not being accellerated. Also, one other option may be to try the opensource radeon driver. You can lookup your card's pci ID (use lspci lspci -n) in /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/drm/drm_pciids.h to see if it is supported or not.

Thank you all. I think I'll wait, however, do you think that that is the problem that cause glxinfo | grep renderer direct rendering: Yes OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer On my ubuntu machine, I get : direct rendering: Yes OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 965Q GEM 20090326 2009Q1 RC2 x86/MMX/SSE2 That diference definately explains poorer 3D performance in gentoo compared to ubuntu. IIRC GEM is a very new feature in the 2.6.29?? kernel, so at a minimum you'll need to enable it in your kernel, to be able to use that feature. There may be other things you need as well You'll probably want to run the very latest version of the intel driver, to try it, add the following to /etc/portage/package.keyword; x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel ~x86 if you're running 32 bit or x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel ~amd64 if you're running 64 bit, then emerge it again Have you read http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Intel_GMA?

[gentoo-user] xf86-video-intel-2.8 and compiz - hard locks
Am I the only one experiencing this? I upgraded xf86-video-intel to 2.8.0. After this and other upgrades I noticed my X/GNOME/compiz session kept locking up. It took me a while to deduce it down to the intel driver. Basically what happens this.. shortly after going into X and launching compiz the screen would just lock up. Most of the time the pointer still moves and I can still hear audio if it's playing, but the display does not update. I can ssh into the machine. If i then kill the running compiz I see no difference. Compiz appears to die or at least be in zombie state but no screen updates. Then if I kill the X server the entire box locks up (ssh and all) and I have to hard reboot. I've tried re-merging all my x11-drivers/ and also mesa and xorg-server, but nothing seems to help. I've tried this on kernel 2.6.30 as well as 2.6.31-rc4. I haven't noticed any difference. I downgraded xf86-video-intel to 2.7.1 and so far everything is fine. Anyone else experienced this?

I don't know the inner workings of opengl so I am just guessing. I just know it worked for a while then didn't until I told it to switch again. It is weird tho. I did do this last night tho. I upgraded my kernel and updated to the latest nvidia drivers. I checked it again a few minutes ago by playing a video and it is still working like it should.

I have an AMD Phenom II X4 940 with an Radeon 4870 that loves to crash when I turn on compositing. OpenGL works wonderfully until it crashes kwin. XRender chews up so much CPU I'd rather not have it. I have an AMD Athlon II X4 635 with an onboard Radeon 4200 that loves to crash when I turn on compositing. Both these boxes have SB700/SB800 chipsets. I use xdm on the former and manually run X on the other. Same problem on both. I did not have this problem in xorg-server 1.7 series. I have a very similar setup and it works fine here, AMD Phenom II X4 955 Deneb 3.2GHz with a Nvidia GT-220 video card. I also have the SB700/SB800 chipset as well, Gigabyte mobo. The biggest difference I see is the video card as far as hardware is concerned. Software, I'm on xorg-server-1.9 here. I never tried the older series on this rig. I also still have a xorg.conf file too. May not matter but just upgraded to a 2.6.38 kernel. Also, no hal here either which is why I went with that xorg version during my install. I hope this little bit of info helps in some small way. If you need more info about my setup, let me know. So this seems like the xorg-1.9 driver won't play nicely with ATI video cards. FYI mesa classic seems to be better than gallium, although both crash. As already reported xrender works, but eats up resources. Will have to wait for later versions it seems.

[gentoo-user] QT4 and QGLWidget
Hello,
I use Gentoo/LInux OS, with lastest Qt4.7.2 ebuilds,
and a Nvidia card or intel graphics (and mesa)
when I run qmlviewer with opengl params,
or I use QGLwidget viewport in my app,
I get this error:
qmlviewer[6399]: segfault at 1763 ip b6a73630 sp bfa0ee00 error 4 in
libQtGui.so.4.7.4[b6887000+a1e000]
I tried also to emerge last qt-*-4.7.999 builds, but no success.
glxgears works and glxinfo reports that I'm using direct rendering
no matter wich .QML I use.
also this one exists with error:
import QtQuick 1.0
Rectangle {
id: mainView
width: 1920
height: 1080
}
Ther's some missing use-flag maybe? Or is something broken on Gentoo
I think is something about gentoo, 'cause I tried to install last Ubuntu
11.04 and there my apps works nice
Thanks,

Like dbus and consolekit? which kde-package(s) did you emerge? Oh, another odd thing I noticed. When I start kdm, I can't switch back to a console. That is starting to piss me off. I can't login to KDE and it won't let me go back to a console either. Is that related or a separate issue? I have seen this myself. Some NVidia-drivers caused this. Could be that your graphics-card-driver is causing a similar issue. Can you try logging in with a text-console (eg. without /etc/init.d/xdm in your runlevel) and then start X with kde? Eg: Put the following into your ~/.xinitrc: ** exec /usr/local/kde4/bin/startkde ** ( % echo exec /usr/local/kde4/bin/startkde ~/.xinitrc ) Then start X from the command-line with: # startx The above commands do NOT need root-access. If this works, the issue is with the login. If this doesn't work, the kde- session can't start. -- Joost

Everything seems to be working normally since then, but a lot of pkgs became unneeded, according to 'emerge -cpv', ie 131005 x11-apps/bitmap-1.0.6 [for xorg-x11 : otiose] 131005 x11-apps/sessreg-1.0.7 [for xorg-x11 : otiose] 131005 x11-apps/xkbutils-1.0.3 [for xorg-x11 : otiose] 131005 x11-apps/xkill-1.0.3 [for xorg-x11 : otiose] 131005 x11-apps/xlsclients-1.1.2 [for xorg-x11 : otiose] 131005 x11-apps/xrandr-1.3.5 [for xorg-x11 : otiose] 131005 x11-apps/xrefresh-1.0.4 [for xorg-x11 : otiose] 131005 x11-apps/xvinfo-1.1.1 [for xorg-x11 : otiose] 131005 x11-libs/libXp-1.0.1 [for xorg-x11 : otiose] 131005 x11-libs/libXvMC-1.0.7 [for nvidia-drivers] 131005 x11-misc/makedepend-1.0.4 [for mesa : otiose] 131005 x11-proto/printproto-1.0.5 [for xorg-x11 LO : otiose] (from my home-made list of installed + removed pkgs). Presumably, these have all been absorbed into other Xorg pgms.

[gentoo-user] Re: llvm compile error
Before this gets out of hand.. On Fri, 24 Jan 2014 19:44:38 +0100, Silvio Siefke wrote: llvm-3.4 is not hardmasked. It is marked ~x86 which is something very different. Correct, i mean Clang in version 3.4 is hardmasked. I want install clang alone llvm i not need. I think mesa use llvm too but i has not set the use flag. 1) clang-3.4 is not hardmasked either, so you need to set ~x86 keyword for that package as well as for llvm - because: 2) clang is only a metapackage, without any contents on its own. The compiler binaries are part of the llvm package. You simply cannot have clang without llvm. 3) FreeBSD indeed uses clang as default compiler, but uses 3.3 since 3.4 still has quite a few new and exciting bugs. Hope that clears things up. -h

IIRC there was even a policy for gentoo developers which strongly suggested this. As above, our defaults are not necessarily following upstream recommendations/defaults. Apache alone should make you think about that claim. I never installed apache. However, especially for packages for which the choice of algorithms has to be selected (USE-flags thread, jit) or of protocols/interfaces (openssl or gnutls, neon or other, sqlite or mysql, openvpn[lzo], qtgui[exceptions], mesa, freetype, wine), the installation of tools (utils, examples, tk, perl, python) or extensions (tls-heartbeat, introspection, X, readline) the defaults usually follow the upstream default or recommendation unless there is a severe reason not to. If disabling one useflag breaks the whole package, then it's a bug. Whether it breaks your machine/setup or not is independent of whether it breaks a package. care about and arch testers usually run all(or most?) useflag permutations before stabilizing. Simple mathematics shows that this cannot be even closely true. Anyway, this has nothing to do with our discussion.

I used Alpine a few years ago, but I thought UW had stopped development on it for lack of users of it. If ya can't use it on an iPhone these days the students won't use it... When I finally made the move to commandline email not long ago, I had to choose between alpine and mutt. Since I was somewhat familiar with alpine and couldn't get used to mutt at all, I stuck with alpine. Lack of development doesn't bother me since it's pretty much complete (for my needs).

If it is, then a --deep update --with-bdeps should be updating it. One more desperate attempt: the --complete-graph option is weaker than --deep, I think. What happens if you remove it?
