Re: [gentoo-user] merging gnome gets circular dependencies

pt-gpl -cups If that doesn't suffice disabling the cups and dbus use flags for more of those packages are the key to get this emerged. Once it's emerged you can change the use flags back and remerge with --newuse... -- Bo Andresen Had the same issues, with the circular dependencies. I found the dbus USE flag to be the troublesome one. While my solution was not as elegant as Mr. Andresen's, it did work. I simply ran the emerge without the dbus use flag. When it came avahi's turn to compile, it stopped and balked at me, so I emerged it with the dbus use flag... from there, installation continues as normal. Funny, I was freaking out and googling for a half hour when I could have just checked my inbox :P -- Dan Cowsill -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Switched monitors, having resolution problems

es, so you may or may not need the @70 part depending on where the modeline came from. the X logs should list many modelines which X came up with after probing the hardware, and you probably want to use a name from the desired one of these. Have you tried looking up online and entering the refresh rates manually? I highly recommend doing so. Best of luck, dan. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Switched monitors, having resolution problems

thing i would mention though. You know how as monitors wear out they get blurrier and blurrer, and image quality decreases? Well, setting the refresh rate too high on some older, cheaper monitors seems to result in a much accellerated blurification process. > Thanks for the help, > Vlad any time. -dan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
