m-a question
When using module assistant to install a package (e.g. nvidia driver, some wireless driver, whatever), it only compiles a module for that currently-running kernel, correct? So, then, after a dist-upgrade, in which I have installed a new kernel, when the machine is rebooted into this new kernel, I must re-run m-a to install the modules for the new kernel? Is there any way around this? I have to install my wireless drivers with m-a, so if I reboot into a new kernel, I have no connectivity and have to be physically at the machine. Thanks, Zaq

OpenGL games in Amd64
I've recently come to the realization that OpenGL games such as Quake*, Doom3, and Enemy Territory, can be run successfully in the main amd64 root. I was previously running these games from within the 32bit chroot. In order for a successful setup like this, what lib packages must you have installed? What does your /etc/ld.so.conf look like? What version of the nvidia packages are you using? Does it matter? I cannot download the nvidia-glx-ia32 package, apt tells me it's not downloadable (but it says it's already the newest version). I've recently repaired a lot of my issues, according to other excellent posts to this list, but I'm still getting segfaults upon loading the libGL.so.1. My 7676 nvidia packages were compiled a month or more ago, when my libs were sort of messed up...maybe I should recompile them? Thanks, sorry for all the confusing questions.

Re: Kernel Headers for 2.6.11
In a chroot, you still need nvidia-kernel-foo in order to install the nvidia-glx package. I've created an i386 .deb of nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel-source, and, you're right, the -glx package requires an i386 nvidia-kernel-7676.deb ... Look into 'equivs', to generate an nvidia-kernel package to suit yoru needs, and allow nvidia-glx to install. No idea how to make this work ... is it as difficult as it seems? Plus, doesn't the nvidia-glx-ia32_1.0.7676-1_amd64.deb package provide the necessary libs to satisfy OpenGL-wanting applications within the sid-ia32 chroot to operate?

The chroot may have a different file system, but it sees exactly the same network. The server doesn't seem to want to run in the chroot, or if it's running, I can't get to it from outside... see below. However, usually you don't have an init process running inside of the chroot environment, so it is a bit difficult to kick start the server. The best way is to write an init script for the normal system, that calls chroot on the init script in the chroot system.

Notice: nvidia-kernel patches required.
The nvidia-* packages in sid/amd64 have a couple of small issues that I have discovered and would like to point out to everyone else for future reference. Firstly, it is imperitave that you upgrade to a 2.6.11+ kernel (whether a debian image or roll your own). Previous kernels have a bad implementation of change_page_attr. The complete text from nvidia is available here: ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/1.0-7167/README.txt Secondly, many users have reported bad performance under OpenGL applications (games). Not all games, but a good majority of them. I'm not certain what the cause is, directly, but nvidia has provided a patch. Actually, two patches. They are available here: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/attachment.php?attachmentid=10788 and here: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/attachment.php?attachmentid=10794 Since debian-amd64 has its own custom implementation of nvidia-kernel-source (and, as far as I know, you cannot simply install the NVIDIA-*pkg.run file) you'll have to apply the first patch to /usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/nv/os-agp.c and the second patch to /usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/nv/nv.c, after you have untarred the nvidia-kernel-source.tar.gz file that you have downloaded from apt-get. It would be best if we could have the maintainer patch these himself and move them back upstream. I have not yet contacted him myself because I'm uncertain as to whether these patches are universal (meaning perhaps they won't work for everyone or make matters worse for other folks).

My previous experience with linux are pretty limited, but I've managed to get most of the system working. Now I'm trying to get hibernate to work on it wothout much success. I first tried the suspend2 patch on kernel 2.6.10, giving compilation errors, but later a post on their website said that it's not supposed to work. I'm now trying with the older ACPI suspend. I compile the kernel (2.6.8, now, I had additional problems with 2.6.10) setting: # # Power management options # CONFIG_PM=y CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND=y I run the hibernate script configured for suspend to disk: UseACPISleep 4 The computer shuts down without any visual errormessages, (the hibernate log file is also not indicating any problems), but when starting the computer using grub: title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.8 Resume root(hd0,4) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.8 root=/dev/hda6 ro resume=/dev/hda7 initrd /initrd.img-2.6.8 savedefault boot it starts as if no hibernate had been performed except for the lack of a swap partition.

I thought it might be because I only have 'unstable' in the source list and not 'testing'. But when I search for 2.6.11 kernel in all distributions on the debian home page I don't find any packages. How do I get the 2.6.11 kernel and sources for debian? Best regards, Rurik Wahlin 1) 2.6.11 isn't in unstable yet (aka sid). 2) unstable is more recent packages than testing (aka sarge). fyi.

Sound stuttering in Doom 3.
I know there are many more pressing issues than this, but if anyone has experienced this, perhaps you could assist. I have Doom 3 installed in /var/chroot/sid-ia32, as well as the nvidia-glx and necessary alsa packages. Other GL-based games perform terrificly. Doom 3, however, has this annoying clicking sound throughout the game. It beings when the game is launched and does not stop until /quit. p.s., I've determined that running things such as this from inside of screen, for some reason, slaughters performance. Not sure why, but it's a nice tip to other users. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is there any useful output on the console when you run doom? I had difficulty even getting sound in the first place (crappy onboard sound chipset...), but now it works nicely with no chopping. It might also be that the game is taking so large a chunk of your system resources that it's having trouble keeping up with playing the sound. -- Debianista! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
