<0> hi, im having a little problem with xorg (non-modular). Its the driver (standard, "vga"). Last time I installed xorg on that computer, it allowed for 24bits, not the max is 8. And the resolution is 720x400 NO MATTER what I put in xorg.conf.
<1> scast, it will be fine if you leave it on, unless you're computer is already messed up in some way; shutting it down won't hurt it either
<2> ok
<1> gdp: try using a different driver
<1> ?
<3> gdp, which videocard do you have?
<1> or do you not have access to any drivers?
<0> on-board, Intell
<3> i810 i ***ume
<0> Omg*: I dont know what driver to use
<0> ali3nx: tried that, wouldnt work
<4> gdp, for best performance get the latest xorg modular and latest mesa and latest i810
<3> some i810 intels wont do 24bit at high resolutions with direct rendering
<0> t35t0r; mm, might aswell do it. Unmasking the ebuilds for modular is all I need to do?
<3> client of mine has a p3 500 with that predicament
<0> ali3nx: I also tried 24bit @ 800x600.
<4> gdp, x11-base/xorg-x11-7.1 media-libs/mesa-6.5-r3 x11-drivers/xf86-video-i810-1.6.0
<0> ali3nx; this PC happens to be a p2 500 :P
<4> gdp, you can follow the xorg modular guide or you can use gwups.sf.net and hit enter lots of times
<0> t35t0r; cheers :D
<5> is there a dhcp_eth0 option to not send the full domain name along with the hostname?
<4> gdp, composite works very nicely
<3> FinboySlick, copy net.example over top of the default net file and you'll have all the examples you've missed :)
<6> scast: yes, just remount your partitions and you can pretend you never left
<0> t35t0r; i havent had the chance to try it. I was very happy with my monolothic version, thankyouverymuch
<0> brb
<4> gdp, you don't know what you're missing
<4> gdp,seriously
<4> gdp, which integrate one do you have?
<5> ali3nx: Well, if those are all the options, then no, there isn't an option to do that.
<7> hi *; does anyone know how I can connect two computer together through eth0? is there any doc for that?
<5> Which leads to another question. Why the heck would we append domainname in the first place?
<4> OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 852GM/855GM 20050225 x86/MMX/SSE2
<5> Chances are that the dhcp server is well aware of the domain it is providing for.
<6> paolo_: ***ign them static IPs and plug the network cable in
<5> I find: hostname.example.com.example.com pretty silly.
<3> paleo, crossover cable and some manual network ***ignment with ifconfig should do the job
<5> Actually, that's not accurate.
<5> But you get the idea.
<6> paolo_: most NICs can flip their pins so you don't need a crossover cable, but you may need one
<7> arbiter_dev: you mean ifconfig eth0 xxx ? I tried that, but I cannot ping
<8> paolo_: i would imagine you need to set up one of the computers as the nameserver for the other one
<7> arbiter_dev, sorry.. but I don't know what is a crossover cable
<7> eck, how to do that? any doc for that?
<6> a cat5 cable with the wires crossed, so you can connect two NICs directly
<3> paolo_, http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/home-router-howto.xml
<7> arbiter_dev, you mean a normal ethernet cable wouldn't work?
<5> paolo_: You need to switch wire 2 and 6
<7> ali3nx, thanks i didnt see that before
<5> So that the 'send' of one card goes into the 'recieve' of the other card.
<7> FinboySlick, what does that mean?
<3> paolo_, there's a few others on gentoo-wiki
<5> There are 8 wires in a cable.
<9> what exactly is done when emerge does the "updating portage cache"
<9> and how can that take such a long time
<7> FinboySlick, how to change tem
<5> You cut the wire, shuffle them around and put in a new plug.
<7> zokum, use unstable portage... it is much faster
<5> Or buy a pre-made one.
<7> FinboySlick, otherwise it wouldn;t work?
<9> paolo_: on a server, doubt it
<1> zokum, really that's just a timer, that is made to irritate all users of gentoo
<9> i was thinking of doing and emerge synch ever 15-20 mins or so
<5> paolo_: Not unless one of your network card is auto-sensing for that sort of thing.
<5> paolo_: Not many are.
<9> but this is taking way too long for that to be practical
<7> FinboySlick, interesting ... I didn't know about that
<10> zokum: uhm, don't...our mirrors are donated, be nice to the people who pay for the bandwidth :)
<7> FinboySlick, so probably I should just use a router
<4> zokum, upgrade to latest portage it's more than 50% faster
<1> zokum, it was part of an experiment to see how much annoyance gentoo users could handle
<8> zokum: you are not supposed to do an emerge --sync more than twice a day
<4> from the public servers
<1> it was deprecated in the last release, that's why the unstable portage isn't as slow
<5> paolo_ Well, cheap as they are, home routers are still considerably more expensive than a length of cross cable.
<4> emerge --sync from your own network as much as you want
<5> paolo: Besides, you could just use a switch or hub to get these two talking.
<1> glsa-check when you want tho
<7> FinboySlick, true.. but I have an extra router here! ;-)
<5> paolo_ What kind?
<7> FinboySlick, wireless router
<5> Give me a model number.
<7> FinboySlick, why?
<5> because if you're lucky, you might be able to put a nice linux distro on that router.
<7> FinboySlick, anyway the extra one is a zyxel p-330w
<7> FinboySlick :-) that would be cool... although I don't see the advantage yet :-)
<7> FinboySlick, is there a db?
<7> FinboySlick, i also have a usrobotics
<8> ah, the zyxel p-330w: http://lists.gnumonks.org/pipermail/legal/2005-July/000412.html
<5> http://wiki.openwrt.org/TableOfHardware
<7> nice :-)
<7> thanks
<7> now ... what is the advantage?
<11> Hello everyone! I just discovered IRC and it's awesome!
<5> It's linux. You install software you use, leave your memory free for actual routing/nat instead of all the features you don't use.
<8> paolo_: well, apparently it is already running linux
<8> as you can see from their gpl violation :-/
<7> eck, yes, I noticed that.. what kind of linux? can I ssh into that?
<5> yes
<12> question:
<7> FinboySlick, how? just ssh router?
<12> what is the difference between stages 1, 2, and 3???
<8> paolo_: you can if sshd is running, which it probably isn't
<5> or its IP address.
<8> AfterDeath: mostly the number of packages you need to compile
<7> interesting.. let me try
<5> I'm talking about openwrt here, not your factory router OS.
<0> lots of packages to unmask for i810 :P
<5> paolo_: Do some reading first... You can turn your router into a brick with that thing.
<13> are there any other tips for removing orphaned or old packages/files other then emerge --prune
<5> Back to my question: Why do we send hostname.domainname to dhcp? I want to send just hostname.
<14> i810 is the greatest
<7> eck, I cannot ssh into that
<5> paolo_: Into what?
<14> I have ssh-agent running as process, Is their anyway of finding out what started it
<7> FinboySlick, into the router
<15> I have gcc-4.1* and gcc-3.4* on 1 host and gcc-3.4* only on another. Is this a good setup for DistCC?
<5> paolo_: You typically have to install the software before you can use it. If you want to ssh into an openwrt router, put openwrt on the router.
<7> FinboySlick, have you ever tried that? is it safe? shall I try with non tested hardware?
<13> is anyone elses /usr 6gb big?
<13> seems a bit big
<5> paolo_: I'm using it right now. Mine are real wrt54g however.
<7> FinboySlick, cool... so what are the advantages?
<5> It's a linux distro.
<5> It has the advantages of a linux distro. You put in what you want, you leave out what you don't want.
<7> FinboySlick, I understand that but does it work better?
<5> It's a lot more flexible.
<7> well I suppose you don't want to put kde on it
<5> I wouldn't put KDE on anything.
<1> haha well put FinboySlick
<14> Bung: my /usr/portage comes in at around 3.7GB
<5> jackthebiscuit: rm /usr/portage/distfiles/* ;)
<7> FinboySlick, is it worthy to try on a router that is not been tested?
<5> paolo_: It is worthy of a great many things. Are you worthy of it? The answer will come when you do (or fail to) have it working.
<7> ok :-)
<5> Go forth, yougn disciple, and choose your path.
<10> hopefully the one where you don't brick it.
<5> Most of the un-bricking tutorials are for the wrt54g
<5> Whathwat? How come Gothgirl gets a +? She special or something? ;)
<1> finboy: she has boobs
<1> therefore she gets a +
<5> "I have nipples Greg... Can you milk me?"
<16> WOW
<13> JackTheBiscuit: my /usr/portage is only 600mb, as FinboySlick says, empty your distfiles
<16> you're sure this isn't efnet?
<7> FinboySlick, I first need to understand how much ram/flash my router
<7> has
<10> trelane: dunno, better /server and check
