[gentoo-user] WLAN speed either 800KB or 3MB
Downloads over my 802.1g WLAN seem to always be at either of these two speeds. Billon ADSL+WLAN router one end, Intel 5100 on the laptop. Any ideas on how i stop it falling back to the slower speed?

I had assumed that congestion would reveal itself as varying speeds, as expected with multiple users on a shared medium, not step jumps between the two speeds that i'm seeing... Am I wrong?

Am I wrong? Check that you have disabled 802.11b on your router, or you may find that an adjacent client who's running 802.11b will drag your router down to 11Mb/s max (the actual throughput will be lower). While you're experiencing the lower downloads you can run iwlist scan to see the speed at which your NIC is connecting at. If it is 802.11g it'll say so: Bit Rates:54 Mb/s Extra: Rates (Mb/s): 1 2 5.5 6 9 11 12 18 24 36 48 54 Also, iwconfig will show you IEEE 802.11g or IEEE 802.11b/g accordingly. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

[gentoo-user] xorg-server/nvidia/x86-driver updated: No kbd, no mouse
Hi, I updated to the newest nvidia-drivers-195.36.24 and to xorg-1.80. Afterwards I etc-updated and recompiled the output of qlist -I -C x11-drivers and did a modprobe -r. I rebooted. X11 starts with no problem but the keyboard and the mouse were not responding. The xorg logfiles says that there are no input-devices specified and that module dri and dri2 couldn't be found. A quick look at man xorg.conf says nothing about definitions of input devices. The previous versions has had no problems with my xorg.conf, so something added with the latest update may have killed the functionality... What did I wrong?

First question after posting my problem was: "Did you read the guides???" Now I included exactly what the guides say and compiled as the ebuild has configured it (hal off, udev on) and now I am told to remove the stuff again...

[gentoo-user] elogviewer and something odd with equery
Hi folks,
I have had elogv and elogviewer installed for a while. I only use it on
occasion but when I tried to use it the other day I get this little

According to that, I have two copies of the same version installed.
Huh? Then I notice the same for elogv. Double huh? Well, I emerge -C
the thing then run the equery command again. They are both gone so I

It shows two copies installed again just like above.
So, it appears elogviewer has some issues but equery seems to have a
weird streak as well. I'm not sure which to tackle first. By the way,
elogv works fine. The logs show up but I prefer e
