[gentoo-user] Display on HDMI-connected TV to large
Hello, recently I changed my dual-head setting from fglrx and old zephod to xf86-video-ati, KMS and xrandr. Nearly all works great, since KDE 4.4 even that, but the display on my TFT-TV is a bit too large on all sides so that it doesn't fit completely in. It is only a cm or so on all sides that overlap but it is really annoying. My normal monitor is a 19" Widescreen TFT connected via DVI to old 15 Pin VGA connector and runs at 1440x900. My 19" TV is connected via HDMI and runs at 1280x720 The same configuration worked perfectly in zaphod mode so that it is possible with this hardware. But as zaphod is more then less broken and without priority I changed to xrandr. I have a Radeon 3650HD with x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati- xrandr says: metat...@shao ~ $ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2720 x 900, maximum 8192 x 8192 HDMI-0 connected 1280x720+1440+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 708mm x 398mm 1280x720 60.0*+ 50.0 1024x768 60.0 800x60060.3 720x57650.0 720x48059.9 VGA-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DIN disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DVI-0 connected 1440x900+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 408mm x 255mm 1440x900 59.9*+ 1280x1024 75.0 60.0 1280x960 60.0 1152x864 75.0 1024x768 75.1 70.1 60.0 832x62474.6 800x60072.2 75.0 60.3 56.2 640x48072.8 75.0 66.7 60.0 720x40070.1 I can't figure it out by myself and google shows nothing that helps.

> This may seem a little odd, but check your telly's remote for an overscan button or menu item. My TV doesn't let me controll overscan. I have a few modes to switch through but that doesn't effect overscan much or at all (zoom, panorama and 16:9 FS take more then the other modes but something is taken in any mode).

[gentoo-user] Tell kernel to use right graphic card
Hello, I have here a setup with two graphic cards and two displays. The radeon 3650HD has my monitor connected to it via VGA The radeon 3200HD has my TV connected via HDMI I use KMS and the open driver and X works with two seperated screens so far (hope xrandr support for multiple gpu comes fast) but I have a problem with the framebuffer/KMS console. The output from my console shows only on the TV not my monitor. I can see the BIOS messages and use GRUB but then the monitor gets blank and it says "no signal". I can read and see everything fine on my TV. After X starts all is perfect. It seems that the kernel or KMS are preferring the card with the HDMI TV over the card with my vga TFT monitor. Is there a boot option or something to tell the kernel that it should use the other card? Greetings Sebastian

After some deep thinking I remember that I used some command to center the picture on my TV when I was using fglrx. I can't remember which command and dumb as I are sometimes deleted the script that issued this command every reboot. All I remember is that it sets some coordinats to 0,0 I have for now abandoned the HDMI cable and connect the TV via VGA cable and use the PC setting of my TV. I will look again into this if I find some sparetime in the future. For now other things have higher priority. But thanks to all for your effords Greetings Sebastian Beßler

Much luck for that. I had spent a lot of time to get that working and now I use Xrandr ;-) xf86-video-ati has better support for that then radeonhd but with both is always the risk that it stops working after an update. Oh and dual-head (first and foremost with open drivers) is broken with xorg- server bigger 1.4 and smaller 1.7 Xrandr is no the new black and with that support for dual-screen layout is not much supported and very low priorised. There was/is a discussion running on the x11-mailinglist over that topic. The core content from that is "bury the old style, prefer xrandr, let the WM or DE handle the rest." Xrandr isn't that bad but its not mature enough. There is much to do on protocol side and on WM/DE side. Greetings

The compiler only builds > code then stops. Rebooting does nothing to it. As far as I read the post from Tanstaafl the question is not if he has to restart after the switch to the new compiler but if he has to restart after the rebuild of world with the new compiler, because he also rebuilds the kernel. My experience is that you don't need to restart right away after a kernel rebuild as long as you don't want to (re)load modules because that would not do 'cause kernel and modules must both be build with the same compiler to work. But to be sure it is possible to postpone the kernel rebuild to be near of a time where a restart can be done. Greetings Sebastian

I don't know what was exactly needed to unmask because I go ~amd64 since some time now. To prevent kde4 to install full I have it hard masked in package.mask and use autounmask to unmask the parts I want to use. You could use autounmask -p kde-base/konsole-4.3.1-r1 to see what would be unmasked. > Of course I wouldn't mind Okular either, but I think this needs the full > kde4 libraries.

Isn't that just stupid? I have VIM installed, set as default editor via EDITOR="/usr/bin/vim" in my /root/bashrc. If I run VISUDO as root (I never use sudo so all there is vanilla and so my user can't use sudo visudo) runs it with VIM. I really don't see your problem.

If you CHOOSE to remove the default then you have to be prepared that something may be broken after that. You could never be certain that anything set as default is existent on the system.

After thinking about that.. To use such a flag the admin has to know what it does and then he can also add Defaultsenv_keep += "EDITOR VISUAL PAGER" to /etc/sudoers instead of adding "app-editors/vim custom-editor" to /etc/portage/package.use So there is no need for such a use-flag because it don't saves any work.

But, "emerge -1v kdelibs" worked as suggested. I don't understand why it works with -1 option added, but not without. Even if I had included kdelibs in the world file, it should have been re-emerged through the previous command, right? I didn't see through the additional magic done by -1! It is not the -1 that is added but the --newuse that is left. emerge -D --newuse kdelibs means that portage should only rebuild kdelibs if there are changed USE-Flags.

I have a almost identical problem with my radeon card and KMS. If I build radeon not as a module but inside I only see a black screen and the system hangs. Firmware is correctly build into the kernel (I switched from an older radeon card where everything worked so I know what to do) but it does not work. I have to build radeon as a module and load it at startup. In /etc/conf.d/modules I have module_radeon_args="modeset=1" so that KMS gets loaded. With that setup everything works "just fine" (short of a flicker when KMS gets started) so I keep it that way for now. Maybe that works for you too. It is worth a try.

Be aware that you are then using Gentoo on a shared server and that you
will have great impact on the performance of the other users on the host
if your are not careful.
I was once contacted from strato because of the high load I put on the
server but then I changed /var/tmp/portage to tmpfs and added

To lower the number in emerge -e @system you have to look at your flags, one by one if nothing else helps.

To me, KDE is not a system package. Then remove the kde-Flag from every package in @system and its dependecies. After that remove all the unneeded flags from all the other packages.

Mail encryption is, as far as I know, something that works on the client-side only. The mail server doesn't see the encryption, encrypted mails contain only text, just like every other mail. The only encryption that comes in mind on the server side is transport encryption, aka SSL or TLS. But for that you don't need enigmail or gpg.

Re: [gentoo-user] Is there an ati-drivers version which can coexist with the 2.6.39 kernel

Hi, there are always the open drivers x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati and x11-drivers/xf86-video-radeonhd If that is not a choice for you then you have to wait for an (in-)offical patch or a version that works with .39 Do you really need .39 now?

I need swap to build openoffice/libreoffice, my 8GB of RAM are not sufficient all the time for the tmpfs of /var/tmp/portage when building that. But aside of that swap is useless and absolutly overrated. I have swapness set to 5 and work with that without problems for nearly a year now. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
