[gentoo-user] gtk2 and fonts
Hello! I have got following problem. After some update (not gtk2 or xfree or other font-related) and rebooting I have got very small (something like 10pt instead of 12) fonts in all gtk2 apps (I don't have any other gui apps, so I can't tell nothing about them). After running fc-cache -f` and `/etc/init.d/xfs restart` and restarting X everything was OK. Today I have got the same problem and cn't solve it :( any suggestions?

A couple of things: 1. in gnome, try gnome-font-properties. There's a setting for application font faces and sizes, as well as a font DPI setting (look under details). 2. after doing this I still had problems with non-gnome apps and font sizes. Try creating a .Xresources file in your home directory. Put this line: Xft.dpi: X Where X is something that works for you. For whatever reason, I need to use 75 to get fonts that aren't twice as big as they ought to be. On my old redhat system, I used 96. Go figure. .Xresources should get merged next time you startx. hth, eric heller On Tue, 2003-10-21 at 12:57, Andrew Kirilenko wrote: Hello! I have got following problem.

[gentoo-user] mozilla firebird extensions
Hello! I'm wondering is it possible to install any extensions for firebird 0.6.1. The first thing I have tried is installing extension simply clicking xpi link in the browser. And it told me that I don't have permissions to do this. I have tried to do this via root (it's really not good) and it installed it correctly and I even can access it, but only while running firebird as root. More, after some experiments I have totally broked firebird (luckely, I have backuped /usr/lib/MozillaFirebird). Best regards, Andrew. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Your brain can't interpret images at much more than 120fps and you're monitor can only output at about the same or less. At 72fps is looks like the gears are actually turning. At 650fps or 1600fps you're only seeing every 5th or 10th or 15th frame of what the computer is actually calculating and putting into video memory. Yes, yes, yes. I understand this. But what if I'd start some complex opengl app? I'm not sure it'll provide me with 20-30 FPS while simple glxgears (not SO simple, but simple enough) provides me only with 700. I'm emerging tuxracer for test this right now (it's the best opengl testing app, I know). BTW. For ATI / NV discussion - my prefference is ATI because: - better open drivers support (and almost the same quality closed support as in NV) - __MUCH__ better 2D - if you want fast 3D - ATI is the best (I have got my radeon 9100 for about $110 about 4 months ago and it supports... hmm... pixel shaders e.g.). NV card with the same capatibilities will cost about $150. BTW, you're lucky to get 8000fps off-screen. I get ~550fps at regular size, ~75fps at full-screen (1024x768x24) and only ~1550 at regular size off-screen. Probably due to lack of DRM-support of nvidias? or is that just wishful thinking ;-) Best regards, Andrew. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] ATI Radeon 9100 and KT400A
Hello! I have got new PC with ATI Radeon 9100 and Gigabyte's MB based on KT400A. I'd like to get hardware opengl. The very first thing, I have tried is using agpgart and xfree-drm on 2.4 kernel. After some time fscking with it and googling, I have found that agpgart in 2.4 doesn't support version 3 of AGP (or something like this), and it's impossible to tell KT400A to not use this AGP3 with my videocard, and only solution is to use 2.6 kernel. OK. I have emerged developemt-sources (test6 at the moment), compiled them and booted into without any problems. The first problem, I have noticed that there is no DMA (and `hdparm /dev/hda -d 1` can't set it). Blah. OK. Maybe I have missed something when configured kernel, but this is not so important at the moment. Then I have tried `modprobe agpgart` and it was successfull - my radeon was detected correctly. After this I have started `emerge xfree-drm` and it simply failed (it supports nothing but 2.4 and patch for 2.5 is commented in the ebuild and missing in xfree-drm/files). OK. No problem. I made `make menuconfig` again and enabled DRM provided with kernel. After recompiling and rebooting I have inserted all necessary modules and `startx`. OK. X was started without problems. Superb! I started `glxinfo` and simply got segfault (and the same with `glxgears`). I'm wondering if DRM from kernel is suitable for my XFree version (4.3)? Or it's possible to get xfree-drm for 2.6 somewhere? Or I need to boot 2.6 and recompile X (`X -version` shows Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.19-4GB i686 [ELF])? Or something else?

This kernel is the same one I've been running with for a couple of weeks, same /usr/src/linux tree. I built the kernel with the /proc i2c option with no problem - booted it and it worked - so I just went back and added the /dev option. Now it's broken.

Check your .config file. If you keep getting unresolved symbols you should need to run 'modprobe i2c-algo-bit' before running sensors-detect. Regards, It's not really good idea, but when I got the same problems, I simply deleted all that modules (I got unresolved symbols in the same modules). Seems, it's because I don't have support for vodoo, i810 and Co enabled in kernel. And it works perfectly all last month. Best regards, Andrew. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
