[gentoo-user] MAC Pro eSATA Card

2009-09-14 Thread Matthias Langer
Has anyone here experiences with eSATA Cards for a MAC Pro running Gentoo? I've already tried two cards ([1], [2]). Both work fine in connection with normal PC hardware, but they are not recognized by the kernel (or even lspci) on the MAC Pro. Thanks in advance, Matthias [1]: http://tinyurl.com/q

Hi all. I'm trying to apply the workaround suggested in the BUG at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=268285 I've changed the file accordingly, however, everytime I emerge mkinitrd, the file (obviously) get overwritten. I tried to search, but didn't find anything... Is there an emerge flag

Anyway, if I use the terminus font (using the xft library), I can't see some symbols, like the Euro one (€ ? can you see it? :D

Also check out xrandr, run it without parameters to see what modes it knows about, then use -s 1280x1024 to set that mode. I have no idea how this interacts with the other options, but IIRC when I set my old laptop to 1600x1200 in xorg.conf it was ignored and xrandr worked and was persistant.
