[gentoo-user] N00b question. HELP
OK, this is a totally stupid question, but I'm out of ideas. Why the hell does my Gentoo system still play music through the speakers, even though I have friggin headphones plugged in? Is the usual behaviour (i.e. when one plugs in headphones the speakers stop playing) software based? I thought it was the hardware itself that did that... Any way to stop it? Thanks, and sorry for putting up with the n00b. Abilio -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Portage update and make.conf
Hi. I just emerged -u portage after the latest sync, and the new make.conf is huge. Among the new stuff was a warning not to use pentium4 as your arch when setting CFLAGS. The new one recommends pentium3. Problem is, my last one had p4, and that's what I compiled the full distro under. My question is: do you think I should recompile everything? Will I have problems if I don't? Also, is the funroll_loops option valid for pentium3? should I unset it? Thanks for the help abilio -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] Setting function keys in Gnome-Terminal
Hi all. My biggest problem at the moment, which is keeping me from using my brand-spanking-new Gentoo box to work on (have my WinXP laptop next to it) is function keys. I work as a programmer in a company that maintains old console apps, and to test them and use some of the Ingres tools we need, I need my keys mapped to specific values. I SSH into a Sun machine where the editing and testing take place, andthe settings there are completely different from my Linux Gnome-term. Therefore, Ineed to change them locally. I'll explain: In Windows, I use a terminal emulator called Powerterm which is already configured to work correctly. When I do Ctrl-V FKey the output is (examples): Shift-F3^[[25~ Shift-F2^[[24~ while if I connect via SSH in this linux system, it's Shift-F3^[O2R Shift-F2^[O2Q How can I change my local values to send those escape sequences in gnometerm?

[gentoo-user] xmms and gnome?
Why do I make emerge -p xmms and see a lot of Gnome 1 libraries? Even ~x86 doesn't help. I'm forced to USE=-gnome to be able to install it... Are there plans for a Gnome-2 based xmms ebuild? Abilio -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] GPM and X ?
Hey all. I'm just now finishing setting up my Gentoo machine at work, and i have several problems. I'm gonna compile them later, but here's one of the most baffling. I ask because a search of the forums couldn't yield any help. I emerged gpm, made it run with my imps2 mouse on /dev/misc/psaux, and added it to the rc-scripts. No problem. Then, when I finished emerging X and Gnome and configuring everything, I realized that after I started X with startx and shut it down again, GPM would stop working, because it couldn't open the mouse. Sometimes doing cat /dev/misc/psaux, moving the mouse around, and ctrlCing I could start gpm again. Any ideas on what might be happening? Thanks Abilio -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Are you able to load the nvidia module? lsmod should provide you with the list of modules loaded. Try this: lsmod | grep nvidia and see if its there. if not try modprobe and see wether any error messages are spit out by modprobe Another thing to try, because the original poster said that he was describing all the EXACT steps he took, would be to load the glx module *INSIDE XF86Config Am Mittwoch, 15.
