[gentoo-user] GHC and documentation

2007-08-14 Thread Iván Pérez Domínguez
Hi, I just checked that GHC has no use flags other than doc. My first question is: can its documentation be generated without having to compile ghc? Shouldn't its documentation be included as a different package? (ghc's doc use flag pulling ghc-doc as a post-installation dependency). Cheers, Iv

In the official portage there's a package called dev-haskell/network. It does absolutely nothing (it even says that). Why is it there? What is the purpose of having that package if it's not a virtual package that, btw, ghc could provide? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Sound card problem

2007-04-28 Thread Iván Pérez Domínguez
Yesterday I was sent [1] a new kernel config through this list that solved the main problem I was suffering. A new one has shown up: the kernel module i810_audio detects my sound card. Even alsa detects my sound card (alsaconf shows it's name). However, I cannot access card #0, alsamixer is incapab

well? btw, is there any web site with a huge database with config files or parts of them for different hardware, distributions (if applicable), and kernels? (I already did my homework trying to find it) If not, I think that would be a great idea. Iván Pérez Domínguez wrote: > Hans-Werner Hilse

Hi again, I'm having another problem, this time it's a kernel related problem. I'm currently using kernel 2.6.13, and most things work fine. However, when I try to update to a newer kernel (say 2.6.17 or 2.6.20), my laptop hangs after detecting the hard disk. If I don't use initrd, it stops whe
