For me, I had mixed results - on one system my accounts were preserved but no contacts/calendar, and on the other system it was as if I had started clean. Other than that, Evolution 1.4.0 has worked fantastically. On Sun, 2003-06-29 at 11:04, Steven R. Ringwald wrote: I apologise in advance if this question has already been asked. Any idea when the Evolution 1.4 ebuild is going to blessed as being as stable as the 1.2.4 ebuild? I have been using it for a day or two, and it seems to be as stable as the 1.2 series so far. I know that my results may be different than other people's; just wondering what others thought. I exported them from 1.2.4 before making the switch and then started Evolution up. It seemed to recognize everything automagically, as I still have my contacts folder and calendar stuff intact. Steve Could you elaborate on the export procedure, please? I seem unable to locate an export feature. -- Owen Ford [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

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. Any more questions, please ask. I will try to help as best I can. Mike I've tried the 'runnable' installer from the Nvidia site but it just won't work for me and gives me exactly the same errors as the portage ones. Attached is the /var/log/nvidia-installer.log file in case that sheds any light on my problems. __ -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list After doing an 'emerge gentoo-sources', recompiling my Kernel, installing it and rebooting running the NVidia installer worked fine. I don't quite understand why I had to reinstall the kernel sources but its all working now and maybe my experiences will help someone else. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list I had the same problem many moons ago but the problem was that the symlink from /usr/src/linux-2.x.xx did not point to the running kernel headers. -- Owen Ford [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
