[gentoo-user] USB keyboard issue
Hi, list, I have recently switched to a new motherboard and a cpu in my computer. In the previous one I was using the usb keyboard and mouse and it was working fine. After I switched to a new motherboard I started having problems. At Windows, both the keyboard and mouse work perfectly. At linux, the system boots without showing any unusual messages, but right after the login prompt it starts printing the endless sequence of '%' characters. The keyboard works, i.e. I can type whatever I want, but the %'s get between any two-three letters I type. If I plug the keyboard out, it stops, but resumes a couple of seconds after I plug it in. If I connect the keyboard with the ps/2 connector, it works -- that's how I type this letter. I'm completely clueless, even google shows nothing Cheers, L.

Hi, I'm going to perform a fresh installation of gentoo on my new box. I'll be using mm-sources-2.6.2 as my system kernel and LVM2 for most of my partitions.

[gentoo-user] [OT] Audigy2 configuration
Hi, This issue is not strictly gentoo-related, but I hope someone has encountered it in the past and can help me. I've recently bought an audigy2 card. I had no idea that it could be unsupported -- after all, the creative production is as mainstream as could be :). However, I can't get it to work. The alsa emu10k1 doesn't support it, but I hoped it would work in some sort of legacy mode. The module starts perfectly, but I can't hear anything from the speakers. (Yes, I did unmute the channels). Neither audigy2, nor audigy is not supported, according to alsa soundcard matrix, so I switched to OSS modules. The emu10k1 drivers from sourceforge.net should support audigy (not audigy2, though), but I can't even load the modules -- it exits with "unresolved symbol" error messages. Hope someone can help me.

Re: [gentoo-user] gentoo in a p100[?]
I think I saw somewhere at the gentoo docs that you shouldn't start gentoo install unless you have a decent amount of RAM, i think it was 64MB. However, from my personal experience I can tell that installing gentoo on p2 233 with 128 mb RAM takes a very long time -- more than 24 hours if you also compile X. So, I'd advise you to perform all the installation on the other computer and then just transfer the disk to that pentium machine.

Well, once you perform a full 'emerge -uD world' and then do it regularly (I do it about twice a week), then the whole process takes ten minutes or so -- it replaces only the newly available packages.

If I knew a compelling reason for upgrading XFree86, and As far as I know, these packages are there because of the USE flags. If you don't intend to install X on this machine at the future, you can edit your /etc/make.conf and add the "-X" USE flag. If you do intend to or you have it already installed, then I'd recommend to leave the "X" flag in, and compile it while emerging system -- I'm not really sure that one of the system packages doesn't have some nice X-related features which will left out this way.

MySQL is the fastest of all SQL servers I've seen. It's easy to administer (it's users database and access settings are saved in the SQL tables, so you can remotely administer it from any GUI if you wish). It has great set of third-party graphic GUIs available from the internet. It's so wide-spread that some applications require it -- notably, in my case, the php-based forums, like phpBB or invision. It has some serious limitation: the stable versions, AFAIK, lack stored procedures, making him unusable for really serious databases. And one more thing that bothers me: it's SQL language is somehow defective: for example, it lacks sub-queries, like "select f1 from t1 where f2 in (select )". If I'm wrong, I'll be happy to be corrected. NIS has a huge security breach, allowing the intruder to obtain the user root shell. Make sure that the whole system is behind the firewall, filtering outside connections to port 9000 (as far as I remember). Once again, I'll be happy to be corrected.

Re: [gentoo-user] how to change the monitor resolution?
1) Manually, while the X is running: ctrl-alt-+ or ctrl-alt- - 2) Permanent: locate Section "Screen" for your video at /etc/X11/XF86Config. Check what is your default color depth: there is a line saying "DefaultDepth 24" or whatever. Locate the matching SubSection "Display" for that color depth. There you see the "Modes" line. They form the circular queue of resolution modes, which you can switch with Ctrl-Alt-+. The default one is the first one. Move the one you want to be default to the head of the queue. The line will look smth. like: Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" "1600x1200" Regards, L.
