<0> there are two versions of framebuffer in the gentoo patched kernel
<1> 80x25
<0> one of them, you set resolution in the kernel
<0> the other one, you set it in lilo/grub
<0> vga=blah
<2> but if i use a framebuffer, i cant install the nvidia driver
<0> which nvidia driver? for X?
<2> nvidia-glx
<0> why the heck not?
<2> well, I had an error,
<2> saying disable the framebuffer
<2> so i recompiled my kernel without the fb
<0> hm there is some nvidia framebuffer thing that causes problems
<0> is that what you were using?
<2> well, the first time i compiled my kernel there was a option to enable the framebuffer
<0> well the framebuffer section has a whole bunch of options
<0> there is one thing called nvidia framebuffer support that gave me problems before
<0> i use vesa vga graphics support -> vesa driver type (vesa-tng)
<2> ahhh
<0> then set resolution on the VESA default mode line right under it
<0> i have 1280x1024@60
<0> also on top you need Support for framebuffer devices checked
<2> yeah
<2> if its not checked theres no more options at all
<2> so yeahy I used the nvidia one
<2> oh well time to recompil
<2> e
<0> also in Console display driver support
<0> i have video mode selection support, and framebuffer console support
<0> i'm not sure if they are important, but they sound important and don't cause problems :p
<2> hmm
<2> what about compiled in font
<0> i don't have that checked, not sure what it's for
<2> fonts ? :D
<0> lol
<2> and the logo
<2> boot up logo
<0> that's your call, i don't use it :p
<2> i will have a nice gentoo logo?
<0> ah i think compiled in fonts is if you don't want to use the default
<0> dunno
<2> and can we set a background?
<2> i like the livecd background
<0> take a look at the help for 'support for the framebuffer splash'
<2> make && make install right ?
<2> for 2.6
<0> i usually do: make && make modules_install
<2> oh yeah thats it
<0> and then cp the bzImage, but you can do make install if you prefer that
<0> make install will do it for you, albeit a bit differently
<2> so now i need to edit my grub.conf?
<0> just make sure the name of the kernel in /boot matches the name of the kernel in grub
<2> yeah i know
<0> if you use make install, you will technically only need to check once
<0> and everytime you recompile, the name will be the same
<0> well the same with copying it manually actually
<0> if you don't use make install, you can do cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-blahblah
<0> hm don't remember if you had to copy System.map too
<0> make install spoils you :p
<2> di i need to edit my grub.conf?
<2> for the vga
<2> do*
<0> not with vesa-tng
<2> so i jsut reboot and thats it
<2> just
<2> will wait after my emerge is done
<0> you may want to keep a copy of your old kernel just incase, and put it on another line in grub.conf
<2> i never delete old kernel image
<2> i wanted to emerge kopete and the its taking ages to compile
<2> gogogo p3
<0> hehe
<2> -the
<2> Viza: whats your nvidia card
<2> do you know anyone using an mx440? or mx4000 its just the same
<0> i have an mx400 laying around
<0> mine is a geforce 5700LE
<2> does it have VERY BAD 2d perf?
<2> the ,x400
<2> mx*
<2> my mx440 does
<0> hm no idea, never used it, just a spare card a friend gave me
<2> its just wrong...
<2> i tried everything
<2> and my windows always ****ing lag, just scrolling the terminal or a web page and its laggggggggggggg
<2> or maximize/minimize window
<0> hrm have you tried lightweight window managers and terminals, just to compare?
<2> im running fluxbox
<0> oh ok
<0> heh sorry for ***uming otherwise :p
<2> thats just wrong, how can X and fluxbox can be bigger than windoze XP
<0> <3 fluxbox
<0> heh dunno, i have fantastic performance with fluxbox
<3> wow
<3> customs = teh ****.
<2> the only thing i didnt try is a new video card
<2> :D
<2> i mean
<2> D:
<0> :p
<4> yay, fbsd-6.0 boot iso is done
<3> you moving to fbsd, s0ulslack?
<4> nah, replacing nbsd on one of my boxes

<3> [17:05:33] [!chendo] like... we had this thing where we wrote questions on postit notes, stuck it to the board and the guy answered our questions
<3> [17:06:20] [!chendo] "what is the meaning of life?", "rebels ****, empire for the win" (the guy was wearing a rebel t-shirt or something, i got nfi), and "stuck in postit note factory, send help"
<4> hah nice, atleast things were cool
<5> hahahaha
<3> that note was great, rofl

<3> as in, not good looking and all ;p
<4> ohhh, you mean trashy looking
<4> haha
<3> yeah ;p
<6> i think fatmom might be confusing graphics lag with other lag...
<4> fat lag?
<6> heh
<7> :o)
<4> she prolly has some funky use flags/settings some where
<6> i'm thinking 550fps 3d, the 2d is fine, but something else is slow
