It's funny that you mention that. I'm not a newbie to Linux but I was to gentoo some months back when I did my first update and was told (nicely, of course! :-))to do an etc-update. Well, I never dreamed that /etc/fstab would be overwritten. Duh, this was my oversight, of course, I'm not blaming anyone. But I didn't catch it so when gentoo wouldn't boot, I thought the system had given up the ghost. I reinstalled gentoo. I believe I must have had a lot of free time back then. :-) Had I caught it, I could have simply corrected the /etc/fstab overwrite and things would have been fine. I didn't go back to Mandrake, however. :-))). It happened again, but the second time, I was more careful. I agree with what someone said earlier, is it really necessary to even offer to change /etc/fstab?? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I tried compiling it in but it didn't work. For me, it works better as a module and then you need to have the driver load at boot by placing the module name in /etc/modules.autoload: emu10k1. Is there a shortcut? I really don't know. To my knowledge, there is not. I have never emerged the sound driver. I have always recompiled the kernel to my liking and configured the sound from there. I really don't anything about the Live-CD stuff. Sorry about that. Keep asking because someone will surely know. If you find another solution I would very much appreciate knowing what you find out for my own knowledge. :-) Good luck. Sorry if I haven't been much help.

Greetings!
This is a most unfortunate and sad situation. The gentoo irc channel that I
use, irc.freenode.net, is a very positive atmosphere. Gentoo is difficult
enough to learn without negativity. My personal feeling is: if you can't say
anything positive about the distribution, then choose another one. Gentoo
isn't a perfect distribution, but which one is? It has a high learning
curve, but in my experience with my irc chat group on gentoo, everyone has
gone out of their way to help newbies to gentoo. Most of the users on the
site are not new to linux but to gentoo. I have always been treated as an
equal by the group. Again, I would question the purpose of the site you
describe and ask, where are the sysops, can't they control the negativity.
There is nothing wrong with disagreement, but it should lead to
understanding and maybe improvement in certain areas.
Anyway, those are my humble thoughts on the matter. I would also add: how
many of those people who are talking negatively about Gentoo have actually
tried Gentoo? Maybe they tried and couldn't get it to go. It is not the
easiest install in the world. One really needs to follow the install docs to
the letter. Good luck and I sincerely hope things improve.

If you edit that you can insert programs that you want started at boot. For example: xscreensaver & gkrellm2 -w $ exec fluxbox Just be sure that the fluxbox line is the last line in the file. This is the way I do it. I don't really use .xsession at all. Maybe this won't do what you want. Just a thought.

Is the module getting loaded at boot. What does lsmod show. Is the nvidia module listed in /etc/modules.autoload. I did not use the drivers supplied by Gentoo. Rather, I downloaded the 1.0.4363 driver from the Nvida web site. It's a .run file and has just one file. You run that, as root, from a console. Not from X. It will compile the module to fit your kernel config and then install the module. Check the output of lsmod, as root, and check to see if the module is /etc/modules.autoload. Then reply to this and maybe I can help you some more. You might also try: emerge -C to unmerge the drivers and see if that works and I suggest you dowload the driver from the Nvidia websit and go that way. I've never had a problem with their driver. Hope this helps a little. Mike -- Regards, Mike [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Don't Fear The Penguin." -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] USB scanner
Greetings! I was wondering if anyone has successfully set up a Canon Lide30 USB scanner under gentoo. This has become very frustrating. Everything that I know is set up correctly, usb in the kernel and all, sane-find-scanner finds the device, but xsane absolutely will not find the scanner. I even installed the latest version of xsane, but no luck. When I was using Mandrake 9.1 with the same scanner under xsane, it worked perfectly and everything was configured. I believe it's an xsane problem, which is frustrating the hell out of me. I went to the xsane web site and downloaded the plustek driver, which is supposed to be used with my Canon scanner, but I couldn't get it to work. I've checked all the docs, but with no luck. If anyone knows anything or can give me some hints or websites that I've missed, I'll be most grateful. Thanks for anything.

It's one file and needs to be made executable. After doing this, from a console (can't install this driver while in X) you simply type ./Name of driver and everything should be taken care of. It will not find a module in the kernel for this driver and will compile one for you and install it. The only thing you need to do is place nvidia in your /etc/modules.autoload file and it should come up at boot. You need to edit your XF86Config file and change the "nv" driver name to "nvidia" Also add Load "glx" to your "Module" section in XF86Config. If "dri" is enabled, disable it and things should work. That is all I did and when I do lsmod, it tells me that nvidia is loaded. The drivers from the Nvidia web site are the latest. The ones in portage are not. Hope this helps.

I have been using the latest drivers from Nvidia without a problem. I'm new to Gentoo and was apprehensive about using them, but they install without a hitch. The new install script works like a charm, even compiling the kernel modules needed at boot. Remember you have to use the install script from the console, not from X. Then be sure to make the appropriate changes in your XF86Config file. I used the latest drivers from the Nvidia site. The install script is much better and you only need to download one file. Hope this helps. Good luck. Also be sure to place the modules in your /etc/modules.autoload file so they are inserted at boot time. -- Regards, Mike [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Don't Fear The Penguin." -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] CanonScan Lide30
Just wondering if anyone has had success setting up a CanonScan Lide30 scanner under gentoo. I have tried everything. The modules are being inserted correctly and sane-find-scanner finds my usb scanner, but xsane will simply not work. I suspect that the drivers are old. Previously, I was using Mandrake 9.1 and xsane worked without a problem. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks. -- Regards, Mike [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Don't Fear The Penguin." -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
