It uses only port tcp-2049. That way you don't need portmapper (port 111), lockmgr, status, or mountd. Hamish. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
[gentoo-user] Slideshow screensaver with multiple monitors
Hi. Has anyone managed to get the screensaver (KDE) when in slideshow with photos to display a whole photo per monitor, rather than trying to display a single photo spread out over multiple monitors? Other than that it works fine... But since my monitors are different sizes & dpi it would look a great deal better if each screen had its own photo (This is running X in either real xinerama, or pseudo xinerama modes).

It would appear that the The same thing happens on my laptop as well (Thinkpad Z61m, core2Duo). The Gentoo boot disks just don't have the drivers. I had to boot a Knoppix disk, install that, then do gentoo as a chroot... Which was a REAL nightmare because the knoppix was 32bit & I wanted a 64-bit install (It took messing around with a kernel from a ~amd64 desktop manually copied over as well before I could get gentoo installed correctly). I'd hate to have to try & rebuild... H pgpMOUuJAUEUj.pgp Description: PGP signature

Mine is an X1400 sadly, so I don't even get LCD native resolution without the damned ATI drivers (Because it's flakey as hell with their DRI, and suspend to RAM doesn't work... Still...

I have a LaserJet 2600N (Network connected), which works like a charm. It needed a custom config file from the net somewhere, but it's a cracker apart from that (Except the envelope feed. You have to remove the paper to feed an envelope else you get a piece of paper infront of the envelope & the printing goes on the paper instead. I also have a PSC1210. All-in-one job. I've had one problem with that under an older kernel that wouldn't create the device nodes properly (Umm... Fro memory the nodes were there, but you couldn't write to them).
