Well, the new ATI drivers have just hit portage and guess what: they
don't support X.org-7.1. Then again nvidia usually manages to do
better than ATI ^^

That sounds different from vmware-server, which I'm more familiar with. I 
don't think I can help here, I'm afraid. Sorry.

Re: [gentoo-amd64] nvidia X server issue

2006-06-28 Thread Rodrigo Gnoatto Amaral

I'm running a fully ~amd64 environment, using Xorg 7.1 and Nvidia
module, but I had to run
emerge --nodeps nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx
to do so.
It works just fine, with direct rendering: yes and everything else,
but show me a warning every emerge --deep

What is it that you are trying to boot?

Have you double checked that the VMWare BIOS is set to boot from CD
first?  (hit F2 when you see the progress bar to enter the VMWare BIOS
setup).

Re: [gentoo-amd64] eselect opengl set xorg-x11 keeps breaking my headers

 Despite no longer having the emulation libraries installed eselect keep

 breaks various X related compiles.

 Does anyone know how I can stop it doing this? Unfortunately its called
 during the ebuild so I can't manually fix them and re-run the build.

Try to delete the gl-headers located in the emul directory. 
Usually /usr/include/GL contains symlinks to /usr/lib, but sometimes things 
go wrong with early versions of the emul stuff (they don't disappear by 
upgrading or unmerging) and eselect places a symlink which points 
to /usr/lib32 instead of /usr/lib or /usr/lib64. /usr/lib32 again is a 
symlink to the /emul directory. Delete gl-headers in the /emul directory to 
which the symlinks in /usr/include/GL point to.

[gentoo-amd64] totem again

2006-06-28 Thread Dieter Ries
hi there,

because my stable totem didnt work, i just emerged 1.4 which is masked ~amd64. 
i emerged it with all its depending gstreamer and -plugins. 

stable totem exited without any useful error message, 1.4 crashes at startup 
with

$ totem

(totem:1051): Gtk-WARNING **: A floating object was finalized. This means that 
someone
called g_object_unref() on an object that had only a floating
reference; the initial floating reference is not owned by anyone
and must be removed with gtk_object_sink() after a normal
reference is obtained with g_object_ref().
   
and a window saying

Totem could not startup


Failed to create a GStreamer play object. Please check your GStreamer 
installation.


but i think the gstreamer-installation should be correct.

[gentoo-amd64] Update problem

2006-06-28 Thread Mark Haney
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I'm having a problem getting my system updated after updating to the
latest portage.  I'm not a total portage noob, but am at a loss on
what's causing this.  Here's a copy of the output I get when doing
emerge -upD world:

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy =dev-libs/gmp-4.2.1 have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your
request:
- - dev-libs/gmp-4.2.1 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
(dependency required by sys-devel/gcc-4.1.1 [ebuild])



!!! Problem resolving dependencies for sys-apps/portage
!!! Depgraph creation failed.

I manually updated gmp to 4.2.1 as well as gcc-4.1.1, but I'm still
getting this error.  I just don't know what to do now.  Any ideas?

Re: [gentoo-amd64] nvidia X server issue

Ditto to that - 

Running ~amd64 with xorg 7.1

then -
# emerge --nodeps nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx

Initially had the font problem, so I set :

Option RenderAccel false in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and also -
cp /usr/lib/libXfont.so.1.4.1 /usr/lib/libXfont.so.1.5

I dont fully grok what the issue is here with fonts and Xfontlib, but
the above hacks combine to fix all my font problems, so I am happy for
now.


Works real well in 2D mode - will do some testing with 3D stuff when
time permits. glxinfo shows Nvidia binaries in use, and glxgears hitting
1900 fps .. which is superficially fine from my point of view.




Note on Compositing effects :

tried this:
Option RenderAccel true in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
xcompmgr -c -l -5 -t -5 -o 0.5 

- Drop shadows / compositing work well in accellerated mode, but font
problem remains.

Option RenderAccel false in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
xcompmgr -c -l -5 -t -5 -o 0.5 

- Drop shadows / compositing still work, but crawls like a snail. Fonts
look fine. Takes seconds to refresh a text window whilst scrolling ...
eww.



-

So for now, Ill stick with nvidia binaries, 8762, with xorg-7.1, and
renderAccell OFF.   Extremely snappy 2D workstation. Going from GDM
login to gnome desktop is lightning fast.
