My Dell Latitude D810 uses the same card and all ati-drivers in the 8.20 series work well for me. Perhaps you have an exotic setting in xorg.conf? To the best of my knowledge, the OSS radeon driver does not provide 3D acceleration (yet), but things are improving in this area. To enable it, you need to include it in the VIDEO_CARDS variable in /etc/make.conf and specify it as the Device driver in xorg.conf as usual. I don't track the daily progress of the radeon driver any more, so if anyone else knows how to get it to do reliable 3D, feel free to correct me :-) alan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] problems rendering unicode characters
Hello list,My system doesn't seem to be able to render certain fonts, mainly corefonts (Microsoft Arial, Verdana & Co.), but also unicode characters (Cyrillic, French diacritics, etc. of Sans, Vera and some other). They display a series of four numbers instead of a given character. The only font that is doing the job acceptably well - that is displays correctly all these characters - is Dejavu. I have re-emerged freetype with -bindist. And I would really like to be able to set some Verdana or Arial non-antialiased font as GTK default. Any ideas?-- Liviu

[gentoo-user] IMAP servers
This is not so much a problem as an 'I wonder'... I currently use dovecot imap with maildir to support several dozen folders containing several gigabytes of mail using Thunderbird as a mail client. This "works" - but I am surprised by the number of imap processes that the mail server is running to support a single Thunderbird client... it appears that there is one connection per folder and one process per connection... which seems (to me at least) to be overkill. I'm aware that there are lots of IMAP clients I might have chosen - Courier; UWImap, Cyrus and dovecot... but I'm finding it difficult to establish details which would help me choose the most appropriate server for my purposes. In order of importance, I'm interested in: 1. Stability and reliability. 2. Scalability to handle a very large number of 'folders' for a relatively small number of end-users. 3. Performance (primarily with respect to 'new mail' notifications, but also, to a lesser extent, with searching archived messages. I'd be interested to hear any anecdotes from Gentooists who have addressed a similar question recently... Steve -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Having never used dovecot, I can't comment on this. But maybe this can be changed in a configuration file somewhere?

I have since moved to Cyrus and I find that this works easier, even with only 2 users using it, it currently handles over 7Gb of stored email. Only once had a problem with one of the folders, which was easily fixed. The cause for this was most likely a minor corruption on the filesystem when my server lost power. (UPS is unreliable, but that's a different issue) As for the performance with regards to notifications, I find that the mailclient is responsible for this, rather then the server. Doing a quick check for new emails is very quick with Cyrus, Courier didn't scale very well in my experience. I hope this helps, and that others can come with more information, including some benchmarks, if these exist. As a final note, I don't think either Courier or Cyrus have ever lost a single email, but I have never done a full check for this. -- Joost Roeleveld -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Calendar sharing with MS outlook on gentoo
2006/10/14, bijayant kumar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hi to all, I want to install MS outlook on the gentoo. Can it possible to run MS outlook on gentoo-linux. If yes then how...??? Is any extra plugin required to do the same. My main concern is that i have to provide calendar sharing with MS outlook on linux box to one of my client..Please help me..I have heard about scalix, but i am not sure about it, there is one thing more openXchange also. But i have no idea about both of them. If any one can help me, please do sir. I will be very thankful to you all. From your mails I still don't understand if you have client linux boxes where you want to run Outlook, or you have a linux server box where you want to place the shared calendar, with Outlook clients. Anyway, for each situation: 1. Windows Server running Exchange with Linux clients running Outlook: you need some piece of software that lets you run Outlook on Linux. You may try Wine, CrossOver Linux (from CodeWeavers)...2. Server running Linux with Windows clients running Outlook: you need a groupware server that lets you use Outlook as a client. OpenGroupware and Kolab comes to mind, there are commercial plugins that lets you connect Outlook to both of them. 3. Neither of the two above: if what you really want to do is to share calendars, but you may have linux on the server and client side and use other software instead of Outlook, take a look at the list of supported clients for the groupware server you choose. Novell Evolution and KDE Kontact are both groupware clients with similar interface and functionality resembling Outlook, and they can connect to OpenGroupware and Kolab IIRC. HTH, best regardsJose

It's purpose is to merge various x11 packages as dependencies and it doesn't do any merging on it's own. Looking into the ebuilds, xorg-x11 only mentions VIDEO_CARDS and INPUT_DEVICES once in pkg_postinst() in an einfo saying you should now set these variables (presumably so that xorg-server can do the right thing when it's merged). The xorg-server-1.1.1-r1 ebuild contains stuff like this: PDEPEND=" xorg? ( input_devices_mouse? ( >=x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse-1.1.0 ) video_cards_radeon? ( >=x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-6.6.0 ) So the variable is only used by the ebuild that actually does the merging. Your 'emerge xorg-x11' lists a bunch of USE flags in the output, but they are all disabled and appended with %, meaning they are new flags being used for the first time. Do the merge then try it again, you should find they are not listed the second time. Portage and the output it generates is in a state of flux recently with several updates in parid succession. It's sometimes a bit hard to keep up with the changes and remember what it's supposed to do today :-) But the output you are getting is correct per my current understanding of portage alan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

The graphicscard sends the picture to your monitor. While that happends, in the middle of the movie-picture, the movieplayer switches to the next frame of the movie.

Check out all the "login_process*" and "login_max*" options at least. Exactly, and on the client side as well. If you reduce the number of processes per IP on the server, the client might have some difficulties and complain aboout "connection impossible". All IMAP open several threads like this, and I believe it improves performance. Why would you change this?

[gentoo-user] emerge xf86-driver-ati-6.6.3 fails
Hi All, I started an update world today which ran through xorg-server and xorg-x11 before it went along to update x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-6.6.3. This package tries to check /etc/portage/profile/make.globals and fails miserably. :-( The reason is that I have no such file. The only file I can find in /etc/portage/profile is profile.bashrc. Needless to say that without an ati driver I have no X and I need this laptop for work! Would you perhaps know what's gone wrong here? This is the error from the emerge: == >>> Unpacking source... !!! [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/portage/profile/make.globals' !!! Incorrect multiline literals can cause this.

I replied(to Neil) before remembering why I put CONFIG_PROTECT="-*" in my make.conf(if that's the problem here). Now it comes back to me. Whenever I used to emerge something there'd inevitably be a long followup where I had to answer y/n to a list of files that were due to be overwritten IIRC. From a forum I was advised to write the above CONFIG_PROTECT line. That's when was I new to gentoo and I haven't changed it since. But where is CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK, since grepping make.conf only returns the one line, CONFIG_PROTECT? -Maxim __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Maybe I didn't make myself clear enough. It works as designed. I did
not overwrite the files, but I'm getting annoyed at having to tell
etc-update "NO" every few weeks when I run etc-update. There are
anywhere from 10 to 40 files to plow through. And I have a 7-year-old
PIII Dell as my emergency backup machine, so I repeat the process all
over again.
What worries me is that one of these days I'll hit the wrong key (Y
instead of N) and zap a config file. Yes, I do have backups, but how
long will it take me to realize what's happened? What I'm asking for is
a way to pre-emptively tell etc-update not to bother me about certain
files. Zap the new version and keep the old.

Hi, I am running gentoo kernel 2.6.15-r1 I recently updated xorg, and installed the new nvidia-drivers package. Xorg now appears to be horribly broken. The nvidia splash screen appears, then it faults out back to the command line. Looking at Xorg.0.log, I have the following warnings and errors Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (no such file or directory) No modes were requested; the default mode "nvidia-auto-select" will be used as the requested mode. Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/CID/, removing from list! FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/share/fonts/misc/" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing Any assistance gratefully received.

The graphicscard sends the picture to your monitor. While that happends, in the middle of the movie-picture, the movieplayer switches to the next frame of the movie. The result: you see the upper half of frame N and the lower half of frame N+1 Yeah, that's exactly what it looks like. I tried specifying HorizSync and VertRefresh in xorg.conf and also a Modeline, but they don't seem to make any difference. I got the data from my TV's EDID data. Modeline, HorizSync, and VertRefresh are all defined under the monitor section of xorg.conf right?

I've had no problem with Xorg-x11 7.1 + Nvidia-drivers-1.0.8774 . I'm using Kernel 2.6.18 , so the 1st thing to try is a kernel update.

Hello, The error regarding the "/var/run/acpid.socket" means that you don't have acpid installed, nor running. I don't know if the fault has something to do with that. It may be a good idea to emerge sys-power/acpid and add it to your default runlevel: rc-update add acpid default Also, add Option "UseEDID" "false" to your xorg.conf under the nVidia Device section. It fixes a lot of issues. - Neil On 19:42 Mon 16 Oct , Jeff Cranmer wrote: > Hi, > > I am running gentoo kernel 2.6.15-r1 > I recently updated xorg, and installed the new nvidia-drivers package. > Xorg now appears to be horribly broken. > The nvidia splash screen appears, then it faults out back to the command line. > > Looking at Xorg.0.log, I have the following warnings and errors > > Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (no such file or directory) > No modes were requested; the default mode "nvidia-auto-select" will be used > as the requested mode. > Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/CID/, removing from list! > FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/share/fonts/misc/" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing > > Any assistance gratefully received. > > Jeff > > > -- > gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] problems making shareable directory shareable
I am trying to create a shareable directory, where all newly created files will have group rwx permissions assigned. I followed the example found at: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/articles/lpi-101-intermediate-p3.xml#doc_chap3_sect19 and preformed the following steps: mkdir /home/share chgrp users /home/share chmod g+s /home/share however, when user1 preforms 'echo hello > ./hello.txt' from within share the file has the following permissions: drwxrwsr-- 8 rootusers4096 Oct 16 20:53 . -rw-r--r-- 1 user1 users 6 Oct 16 20:53 hello.txt and user2 is not able to modify this new created file. I know that I can execute a umask every time the users log in to insure that all new created files will have the correct premissions, but is this really the correct what to handle this problem?

[gentoo-user] Xorg upgrade
Just upgraded to xorg-x11-7.1. Definitely faster than 7.0. glxgears runs at just under 19,000FPS, an increase of about 12%. Fantastic!

[gentoo-user] partition scheme
For hdb, what's a good partitioning scheme? I want to go with reiser, and keep the vfat (for win2k). I have 512MB RAM, should I change the swap size? Is there a big advantage to using LVM versus just a regular root partition? I figure I'll use hda just for storage of stuff prior to burning to disc. For a little while, I'll have a triple boot system. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# parted GNU Parted 1.7.1 Using /dev/hda Welcome to GNU Parted!
