Portage stores file information in /var/db/pkg - anything under /var/tmp is just that - temp files that can be safely deleted.

It allows you to build modules for any given kernel by following the link in /usr/src/linux. This is not going to change anytime soon. Just be aware that if you need to update your drivers in the future that you should modify that symlink to point to the appropriate kernel source that you wish to build the modules for. Sorry, I forgot about this little "feature", else I would have warned you from the start. :-( Also - I read in another thread responding to this about running opengl-update nvidia - this is only necessary if you've changed your opengl drivers. The ebuild for nvidia-opengl runs this command for you once you've emerged the nvidia-opengl package. If, in the future, you upgrade XFree, you will need to run the command "opengl-update nvidia" again. It only needs to happen when your opengl libs have changed.

This is caused by the lack of the NVIDIA module being loaded into the kernel - type lsmod and you should see a line that says nvidia.. Type "modprobe nvidia" as root - then try startx as a user.

Ummm. Emerge vanilla-kernel? Stock - no patches. No IUSE or USE. It downloads, unpacks. That's it. As to number 2 - there is no rule set in stone enough not to be broken. The kernel sources are a good example of an area where there are a lot of different patches that could be added or removed based on what you have/want/ need. By "hardwiring them" you create an even worse "problem" then the one you try to fix with next scenario - a different kernel for every imaginable situation. Also, development-sources is vanilla.

Vanilla sources are unaltered - for the most part. If they are not "generic" enough for you, download and install it from kernel.org. Problem solved. I like the choices in kernel! Just ignore the rest if you don't like them. The install guide tells the newbie installer how to get through it. Besides, according to a recent thread on gentoo-dev, some of the kernel-sources are going away due to lack of maintainers.

It's a shame that finally EULA's have made ebuilds > interactive and sound and message waits are further increasing merge time Not a bad idea at all - in fact, the first one so far that I think would be a great FEATURE - silence. But you don't have to wait for EULA interactivity - and AFAIK it's only on two different ebuilds. Add an ACCEPT_LICENSES line to make.conf - add all the licenses you wish to accept and ebuilds won't stop on license agreements anymore. Check the ebuild (like enemyterritory) for the License Type > Overall, I would say vanilla behaviour should always be exhibited by > default in all aspects of the operating system in favour of user preference > or dev preference.

Exceptions are where the change is vanilla in itself like providing > stock kernel configs to newbie users as genkernel does. Why? This is not a vanilla system - it is a Gentoo System. I expect that the gentoo dev's will make enough modifications to the vanilla to work as expected with the other parts of the Gentoo System. Certain amounts of vanilla-ness are fine, but I would hope the devs would continue to patch the ebuilds and make them work correctly on my system. Do you think that Debian is vanilla? Can you name to me even ONE vanilla distro? LFS - perhaps - but even that will lose "vanilla-ness" as you make modifications. As I mentioned before, these are issues you can take care of on your own system without modifying every

Nvidia plays with Xinerama using it's proprietary technology called Twinview. You will have to add a couple of lines to XF86Config. Under the Driver section (device="nvidia") you will need to add Option TwinView "enabled" There are a few other options you will need to add - they are too "setup specific" for me to go over all of them. The readme for the nvidia driver is located in /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx-1.0.4496/README.gz. Check Appendix I for all the instuctions on setting this up. Make sure you include everything it tells you for this to work correctly. - -- Matt http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x7D81740A -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/pX8kZosHVX2BdAoRAsUPAJ9CxcNOPIfL/zmn1OtMr44QIBrxKACeJe+K lpoGBZmf0TEzsaRLhlksRtQ= =DfNu -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

It throws an error and you have to force the config to proceed if this is the case - for good reason. 1.
