This seems to indicate that the server you are trying to sync with

These are all settings from /etc/login.defs. Although I have this file on
my system, no package appears to own it, so I suspect it is part of pam
(I removed pam many months ago). Did you update pam or shadow?

When installing a stage 3 you are using packages compiled with the
default compiler and USE flags. All I did was set them up as I wanted and
rebuilt everything with emerge -e world. The specific change I made in
this case was changing -mcpu to G4 and adding -fomit-frame-pointer, which
may be unnecessary. But that's not relevant, the emerge -e world is.

[gentoo-user] confused udev?

[Jorge Almeida]

I have a USB memory stick and an external USB box with an IDE disk.
I configured udev to assign device names to both items, or so I thought.
The external box is plugged, the memory stick isn't.
The problem is: the device for the box is not created, and the memstick
device exists but represents the box, not the stick. I read
http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html#identify-sysfs
and
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single/Flash-Memory-HOWTO.html

What else should I do?

The gory details:

$ ls /etc/udev/rules.d/
40-my.rules  40-my.rules~  50-udev.rules

$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/40-my.rules
BUS="scsi", SYSFS{vendor}="PLEXTOR ", SYSFS_model="PlexFlash-2*", 
NAME="plextor_memstick%n"

Some questions:

What's your udev and kernel version?

Did you configure your kernel to use USB storage (if in doubt, post your 
kernel config)?

Does the system detect the devices when you plug them in (post the last few 
lines of dmesg output after plugging in each device)

What does udevinfo -a -p $(udevinfo -q path -n /dev/sdX) tell you (replace X 
with the appropriate letter for each device)?

Maybe we can sort this out.

[gentoo-user] binary package installation problem

[askar k]

Hello!

I have packages CD. Mounted it and did #export PKGDIR="/mnt/cdrom"

When I do #emerge --usepkg  - sometimes it works, but sometimes it doesn't work and bedins compiling.
For example, I wanted to install kde from package CD but it goes to compiling, though I see a lot of tbz files for kde.
Can anybody tell what do I do wrong?

A guess would be that the packages that portage want's to compile 
isn't on the CD. Not all packages from portage is there... Check tha 
package names and versions that want's to compile against the CD.

To give a big update.  In the original post I mentioned that I was in
the middle of doing an emerge -e world after changing from x86 to ~x86

Well after the compile completed I did a quick etc-update.. Re-emerged
madwifi-driver and ipw2200 ipw2200-firmware nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx
(I did not change any other config files) and low and behold after a
quick reboot everything was working again.

So many different ways to build packages with many different USE flags.  
Besides, why would you want to use someone elses pre-compiled package?  You 
have a lot more control over it by building it from source and  Gentoo *is 
not* a binary distro.

/etc/login.defs is owned by sys-apps/pam-login.  You can check the
version with `emerge -p pam-login`.  Try re-emerging it and see if you
missed updating /etc/login.defs by accident.

(I have pam-login-4.0.12, and I don't see those config items
in /etc/login.defs)

If that fails, post back and we'll see!

Yup looks like I went the wrong way somehow.  Instead of cping the new
conf over the original  I moved the new conf to
WAS.cfg_login.defs_ON_111405_140846 and never copied it over
/etc/login.defs.

What about -march ?  At one point that was something that you weren't
supposed to change unless using stage1.  If one changes -march after
stage3, are we supposed to first run bootstrap.sh before emerge -e ?

Although I always did stage1 installs, I must confess to once getting
into trouble by changing USE flags "too early".  This taught me the
advantage of first going stage1-->stage2-->stage3 with the std USE
flags and only then changing USE flags.  I realize that in that case
one might as well start with stage3 (assuming you can change -march).

Hmm, this is strange. Did you check if /dev/sdb is really there? I currently 
have no idea what could be wrong. If not already done, could you recompile 
your kernel with all sub options of CONFIG_USB_STORAGE and see if this 
makes any difference with the stick?

Maybe this will help a little. I am using the ipw2200 drivers, and they
work fine. I am using the gentoo-sources kernel, 2.6.13-r4, with
ipw2200-1.0.6-r3. My eix shows ipw2200-firmware 2.3 and 2.4 installed (I
guess they are slotted), I'm not sure which one is being loaded. I tried
upgrading to 2.6.14, wireless broke (I think that's when I tried loading
the 2.4 firmware), so I went back to my current kernel. I'll hang out here
for a while, 'til they get the bugs worked out of 2.6.14.

I have an ati video, so no help there.

My intial approach to my new laptop was a bit different than yours. Though
I've been doing Gentoo three years, I've never done it on a laptop, never
done Linux or wireless on a laptop. I've had good luck with Ubuntu, wanted
to try their newest, so I loaded it up first, to get info on hardware, get
a working xorg.conf, etc. Had a fully functional laptop in less than an
hour.

I then set up a dual boot gentoo, used the xorg.conf from Ubuntu,
cherry-picked a few ideas from the nicely done Ubuntu. I've added
additional functionality to my Gentoo build as I've needed it. So now,
every time I fire up, I always have a choice. I can use the fully loaded
Ubuntu, which I love for its ease of installation and administration, or I
can use Gentoo, my stripped down hot rod, which on occasion gives me fits.
Gentoo gets the nod every time, unless I'm looking for a bit of freecell.
Why?, I ask myself. I think it's the same reason I liked to take watches
apart when I was a kid. I want to know how things work. I love the Zen-like
aesthetic, starting with a blank slate, and adding only what is absolutely
essential. No cruft.

It's not for everyone, and it's not the "only true way". But it works for
me.

Good Luck

[gentoo-user] Return of My Continuing ALSA woes

[Michael Sullivan]

I got my new computer about a month ago.  It uses the snd-hda-intel ALSA
driver.  I fought with it for a week or two and finally got it working
with alsa-driver (it wouldn't work when I attempted to compile ALSA
support for the card into the kernel.)  Yesterday it just kind of
stopped.  I've just rebuild kernel-2.6.14-gentoo-r2 (removing SMP
support - someone told me last time that it might cause a problem) and
before I rebuilt the kernel I removed all the old modules
from /lib/modules for this kernel.  I remerged alsa-driver.  I try to
start /etc/init.d/alsamixer and I hear the little  sound out
of my speakers that tells me that Gentoo has activated my sound card.  I
try to run alsamixer to unmute the card, but I get an error:

camille ~ # /etc/init.d/alsasound start
 * Loading ALSA modules ...
 *   Loading: snd-card-0 ...

[ ok ] * Restoring Mixer Levels ...
 * No mixer config in /etc/asound.state, you have to unmute your card!
[ ok ]camille ~ # alsamixer

The funny thing is that when I reload gnome-panel (killall gnome-panel)
I have a volume control applet there.  It's muted, but I slide the
volume bar up.  On File->Change Device (in the volume control applet) it
claims to be using Realtek ALC880 (OSS Mixer), but I can't hear any
sound from any of my other applications (including by selecting the OSS
Mixer in xmms.)  After I turn the volume up in the volume control applet
if I go back to my terminal and try to run alsamixer again I get the
same stupid error message, and if I restart /etc/init.d/alsasound I get
this:

Here is a problem...you have an extra space in your vendor string, so
the first rule will not match.

Also, you should be using "==" in your rules, not "=", and
SYSFS{model}, not SYSFS_model.I think these latter issues are the
reason the plextor rule is matching, because from the udev man page,
"=" does not test for equality, it assigns a value to a key.

So first, cut-n-paste the vendor and model strings from this output
into your rule, and change all of the "=" to "==" (except for the NAME
setting).  Then try setting udev_log=7 in /etc/udev/udev.conf, and
watch /var/log/messages when you plug in the drive.

There's no problem with changing -march, you're thinking of changing
CHOST, which can break things. The answer is to run fix_libtool_files.sh
after changing CHOST. I didn't change CHOST on this machine, because
there is only one possible setting for it.

 Your comments are extremely useful.  However much I would

weeks at least.  It works well on an Ubuntu system on a different

How would you recommend to go about trying vesa.  That may be what Ubuntu is doing.  Turn on vesa framebuffer?  

I backed down to 1024xsomething: vertical lines were
scalloped/wavy.  Someone mentioned this would be a timing issue,
but I don't know what I'd do to microadjust timing? 
xvidtune?  I'll try it.

Because you have emerge sync'd since the packages CD was built, your
portage tree contains newer versions of many of the packages, so emerge
tries to install those. As there is no package available for the newer
versions, it tries to download the source and compile.

You need to use --usepkgonly (-K), --usepkg (-k) means "use a package if
one is available, otherwise build from source. If that doesn't work, use
specific version numbers to ensure the version on the CD is installed

Unless your sound card is a special case you should not emerge
alsa-driver. The alsa-driver is included in the kernel.

When I first got this computer and I couldn't get my sound to work I
emailed this list asking for help.  A lot of people on the list told me
to use ALSA compiled into my kernel with support for my card, but I
could never get it to work.  I finally got it to work by not enabling
ALSA in my kernel and emerging alsa-driver.  Now alsa-driver has stopped
working.  It seems unlikely that what wouldn't work before (namely
compiling ALSA support into my kernel) would work now...

OK, but you are not running the same kernel today that you were
running a month ago, correct? Are you running the same version of
alsa-driver, or is it newer? Did you possibly choose testing before
and grabbed stable this time? (~x86 vs. x86)

I would assume that if you choose exactly the software you used before
you will get exactly the same results.

Which kernel were you using before the new kernel install. I did also have some problems when i upgraded from 2.6.13 to 2.6.14. Check 
that your kernel config is correct. In my case the config hasn't been correct.

It did.  Until yesterday.  I was playing an MP3 in xmms and the sound
just stopped.  I couldn't get sound out of anything, and when I tried
rebooting (and therefore restarting /etc/init.d/alsasound) it started
giving me those stupid errors...

Did it. Upon reboot, I had /dev/external_hd and /dev/external_hd1, but
only /dev/plextor_memstick (i.e., no mountable /dev/plextor_memstick1).
I unplugged the stick and turned off the HD case. I plugged back the
stick. Now /dev/plextor_memstick and /dev/plextor_memstick1 exist, as
they should. I turned the case on. Well, no /dev/external_hd...

Moreover:
$ systool  -vb scsi | grep vendor
vendor  = "PLEXTOR "

No external disk...
$ udevinfo -a -p $(udevinfo -q path -n /dev/sda)
no record for 'sda' in database
(...)
The same for sdb...

(There's something very wrong either with me or with udev. I'm ready to
accept the former, but I still remember when devfs went out, one year or
so ago, and my USB scanner stopped working.)

I use genkernel.  To get my sound card to work the first time I had to
reboot with the LiveCD (Gentoo 2005), mount my partitions, chroot to the
new environmeny, etc, unmerge gentoo-sources and alsa-driver, completely
delete the directories under /usr/src and /lib/modules, remerge
gentoo-sources, zcat /proc/config.gz
> /usr/share/genkernel/x86/kernel-2.6 and run genkernel --all and then
reboot into my regular environment and emerge alsa-driver then
restart /etc/init.d/alsasound.  Yesterday I did everything I did
originally to get the sound to work and it doesn't.  I'm not sure the
kernel config was really clean.  What would I have to do to get the
original kernel config for when one first installs Gentoo?

Yes, it is terribly out of date, being written when udev was at

Can you post your current rules.  Also, don't forget Dirk's suggestion
regarding BUS=="usb" instead of scsi.

Yes, this I would expect now, because you are not creating sdX device
nodes anymore.  You would need to use the device nodes that you are
creating.

You could use the SYMLINK target instead of changing the name.  Something like:

BUS=="usb" ... NAME="%k", SYMLINK="plextor_memstick%n"

This would keep the default sdX device nodes, but give you symlinks
for your persistent names.

[gentoo-user] Xorg.. twm not starting and terrible performance with fluxbox

[Mrugesh Karnik]

Well hi again,

It took longer than I expected to change the server. Anyway.

The VIA Unichrome situation turned out to be a no-go for me. I had to 
install an NVIDIA GeForce FX5200 on the machine and get X running.


I think this whole thread and me compiling various Xorg versions about 8 
or 9 times was a waste of time. Because as it turns out, fluxbox, even 
on the nvidia drivers took ages to open xcalc and such. The only 
difference was that, the mouse pointer moved properly with nvidia 
drivers when fluxbox was trying to open xcalc. With vesa, the pointer 
lagged like hell!


Something interesting did happen though. I had that "Unknown device" in 
my lspci output for both Gentoo and FC4 when I was on VIA Unichrome. Now 
after switching to nvidia, I can see a Host Bridge properly identified 
in its place. I wonder why that would be?


I still am confused about one thing though... which exactly is the 2D 
driver for VIA Unichrome?


I apologise to those who wasted their time reading this thread and 
replying in it.. but I found the problem worth investigating and I am 
still intrigued by it..


Regards and a sincere thanks,
Mrugesh

[gentoo-user]Specific umask for a specific ext3 filesystem

[Mrugesh Karnik]

Hello,

I have couple of ext3 partitions for my data. I need to mount them in 
such a way that all the files created on those partitions would always 
bear a umask which is different from the umask globally set in 
/etc/profile. How do I achieve this?


I tried mounting the partition with umask=whatever option, but 
apparently, according to man mount, umask option isn't available for ext3.


Temporarily, I've put a little code into /etc/conf.d/local.start that 
checks if the the partitions are mounted and if they are, chmod's them. 
This, I don't think will be a good idea, once data starts filling up the 
partition


Help would be really appreciated.

Thanks,
Mrugesh

You are correct, I meant CHOST.  Seeing your answer, I now realize
why, unless one is changing bootstrap.sh, there is no need to do a
stage1 compile.

[gentoo-user] udev not getting unmounted at shutdown/reboot

[abhay]

Hello, 
 
A few days ago my system hung and I had to do a reboot by pressing the power 
button. Since then I get the following message while shutdown/reboots 
 
Remounting remaining filesystems readonly [!!] 
umount : udev busy - remounted read-only 
umount : /: device is busy 
umount : /: device is busy 
umount : /: device is busy 
Give root password for maintenance 
(or type Control-D to continue):

If I don't do anything then the system reboots in approximately 5 seconds but 
on reboot it says that "/" filesystem is NOT clean. I boot into Slackware (my 
alternate distro) and during boot it replays over 100 transactions on Gentoo 
partition. It is a kind of routine. I shutdown/reboot, get the above 
mentioned message and then a "filesystem is NOT clean" on next boot. How can 
I get rid of this annoyance? Can this error harm my install any way?

Versions I am currently using
sys-fs/udev-070-r1
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.14-r2

I have tried re-emerging udev but it did not help. 
Googling did not bring any results either. 
 
Any ideas to solved this problem will be highly appreciated.

Abhay

Current:

BUS=="scsi", SYSFS{vendor}=="Maxtor 6*", SYSFS{model}=="L250R0*",

No change (i.e., still no /dev/external...)
/dev/plextor_memstick and /dev/plextor_memstick1 exist as symlinks.
With "usb" instead of "scsi", also no change. With
NAME="plextor_memstick%n" etc, no change (except that there are dev
nodes, not symlinks)

Hmm, looks ok.  Could you set udev_log=7 in /etc/udev/udev.conf, and
post the entries that are added to /var/log/messages when you turn on
the hard drive.

[gentoo-user] root password gremlin

[ÿffffc1lvaro Castro]

Hello all!

This is just a short question...

Does anyone know why it doesn't allow me to log on my
system?
I just installed gentoo...

I KNOW my password. And I also tried the 2 techniques
for changing it (the init="/bin/sh" in the bootloader
and chrooting from the live-cd). I change them
succesfully but it still doesn't work!
It is reeeaally strange. Maybe because I don't
have an alternative user created?

Thank you very much!

It is a known bug (1453) in ALSA hda-intel drivers. Your driver version is 
fine as it did not work in 1.0.9 AT ALL but you need to pass some extra 
options with >=1.0.10_rc2 in /etc/modules.d/alsa. This is what I am using

I have the same sound device so it should work for you as well.

Have you run passwd for the root user while in the chroot environment?

[gentoo-user] udev: lost dvd

[James]

Hello,

A few weeks ago I updated all of the gentoo systems I manage to udev.
(Late to the udev party). Well I've got vlc, mplayer, and kaffeine
working splendidly on 2 different intel portables. However, an Athlon
on an Asus A7v8X-X motherboard is not happy with the dvd or the 
audio: Works fine, as audio CDs play just fine.

Hardware:
AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2400+
(from lscpi)
:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX
5200] (rev a1)

(from lshw)

Kernel (miscellaneous from config file:

CONFIG_SENSORS_VIA686A=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV=y
CONFIG_FB=y
CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA=m
# CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA_I2C is not set

Symptoms:
When (2.6.14-gentoo-r2)booting I get this error:
AT boot time: screen errors related to lm_sensors, which I 
do not think are related to audio and DVD problems.

video:
vlc's gui fires up but nothing happens when I select to play a DVD
that plays on an intel portable..

Kaffeine gives more information:
"The source can't be read. 
Maybe you don't have enough rights for this, or the sourece doesn't 
contain data (e.g. no disc in drive). (/dev/dvd)"

Sooo:
I did notice The dvd devices are missing:
ls -alg /dev/dvd
ls: /dev/dvd: No such file or directory
likewise video is missing:   
ls -alg /dev/video
ls: /dev/video: No such file or directory

The dvd/video devices are not  being created by the boot process 
and udev, or I've munged things up in the kernel. Ideas on how to 
diagnose and fix the dvd mapping to hdc are welcome.

Check to make sure the console is listed in /etc/securetty, otherwise
you won't be able to log in as root directly. (However, you can log in
as a normal user and then use `su'.)

Hi!

Yes... I've done it a couple of times to be sure...

Other thing: my console is using UTF-8 ¿maybe...?
The console is still not working properly, it shows
deformed characters because of the resolution.

thanks!

Ok, something is going wrong in either hardware or kernel land for
this device.  You should be seeing entries like this from the kernel:

Nov 17 13:10:30 carcharias usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using
ehci_hcd and address 5
Nov 17 13:10:30 carcharias scsi2 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
Nov 17 13:10:30 carcharias usb-storage: device found at 5
Nov 17 13:10:30 carcharias usb-storage: waiting for device to settle
before scanning
Nov 17 13:10:35 carcharias Vendor: ST910082  Model: 3ARev: 3.02
Nov 17 13:10:35 carcharias Type:   Direct-Access 
ANSI SCSI revision: 00
Nov 17 13:10:35 carcharias SCSI device sda: 195371568 512-byte hdwr
sectors (100030 MB)

Particularly the last one, about the new SCSI device and it's size, is
important.  If you have USB and the other drivers built as modules,
reload them and try again.  If they are built into your kernel,
reboot.

Does /dev/hdc exist?  If so, what are the permissions there?  What
about /dev/cdrom?

What does "/sbin/cdrom_id /dev/hdc" report?

You can also try setting udev_log=7 in /etc/udev/udev.conf, run
udevstart, and take a look at the messages in /var/log/messages to see
what devices udev is seeing, what rules it is matching for those, and
what devices and links it is creating.

> likewise video is missing:
> ls -alg /dev/video
> ls: /dev/video: No such file or directory

The default rules for udev (in /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules) makes
framebuffer devices in /dev/fb/, with symlinks at /dev/fbX.  The only
'video' devices are for capture cards, and are created as
/dev/v4l/videoX, with symlinks as /dev/videoX.  What device are you
expecting at /dev/video?

Hello!

Yes, I can find

The point is that the normal user can't login neither.

This is Chaos.

On reboot, /dev/external_hd and /dev/external_hd1 exist. I mounted the
disk with no problems. /dev/plextor_memstick and /dev/plextor_memstick1
don't exist (or rather they appear as broken links). Understandable,
since the stick is not plugged. I plugged it and still no nodes.  I
unmounted the external disk and /dev/external_hd /dev/external_hd1 are
gone! And /dev/plextor_memstick & /dev/plextor_memstick1 didn't came
back.

The Link quality is not supported by the driver (ndiswrapper). I am

the problem come from the wireless connection. It might have something

Hmm, do you RC_DEVICE_TARBALL set in /etc/conf.d/rc?  That would cause
something like this, and I recommend setting it to "no" for a pure
udev setup.

Your USB bus is really not working right!  Are these devices connected
directly to ports on the PC, or going through a hub?  If there is a
hub, maybe it is broken...

Hum, /var/log/messages does not exist. Lots of specific log files

Which startup script do I edit to start logging to /var/log/messages?

None really, I was just looking at a portable, with an onboard usb cam
built into the screen case and it had the video drivers. I do think
I enabled v4l in the kernel on that one. Let's just ignore it for
now, as the frame grabber card that was in the amd system with the 
dvd problem was moved to another system a couple of months ago.

emerge --newuse system -pv first. See what packages will be recompiled.

After that, revdep-rebuild ill probably be needed.

Yes, it was there since the time it was recommended. I changed it and
rebooted. The memstick nodes are OK (no links) but still no sign of the
external disk. Turning the case switch off and on doesn't bring any

No hub. I changed the usb port the case is connected to and no change...
I substituted the USB connection by a firewire one. No change...(the
rule starts with BUS=="scsi", so it should be detected).

Rather than changing the permissions, a better plan is to add any
users that should be able to access cdrom/dvd devices to the cdrom
group.

Ok, this is why you have no /dev/dvd device.  A DVD reader should also
report ID_CDROM_DVD=1, and a burner will report ID_CDROM_DVD_R=1.

The /sbin/cdrom_id program is a part of udev, and is used by udev to
determine what symlinks to create.  So as I see it, you have two
choices:

1. Try upgrading to a more recent version of udev.  The current ~x86
version is 073.

2. Write a custom rule for your device, and add it to
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules.  Something like this should do the
trick:

KERNEL=="hdc", NAME="%k", GROUP="cdrom", ACTION=="add",
SYMLINK+="_dvd%e", IMPORT="/sbin/cdrom_id --export $tempnode"

Actually, it depends upon what logger you have mergedI use
syslog-ng, configured so that my kernel and other logs go to
/var/log/messages.  Your messages may go somewhere else...

You may have it already - try shift-pgup.  For me, it doesn't scroll

No?  Some network cards work fine until you pass large amounts of data
through them, at which point they fall over and in some cases crash the
entire system.  It's often a driver problem - I've seen it many times.

do you have a LAN as well? You could try that out.  Otherwise I would
look for an alternative .inf file to use with ndiswrapper (from windows
NT instead of windows XP for example), or look for a native linux driver
for your network card.

The /etc/init.d/net.eth0 script does the following check:


status_IFACE="$(ifconfig ${1} 2>${devnull} | gawk '$1 == "UP" {print "up"}')"
[...]
if [[ ${status_IFACE} == up ]]; then
einfo "Keeping kernel configuration for ${IFACE}"
else
ebegin "Bringing ${IFACE} up via DHCP"
/sbin/dhcpcd ${dhcpcd_IFACE} ${IFACE}


So when I do the following, I get:
# /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
 * Keeping kernel configuration for eth0

So as we can see, the script hasn't given my interface an IP.

Obviously, when I do this, I get:
hareesh: hareesh/ $ wget www.google.com
--14:09:55--  http://www.google.com/
   => `index.html'
Resolving www.google.com... failed: Temporary failure in name resolution.

So then, I do:
# /etc/init.d/net.eth0 stop
 * Bringing eth0 down...

So I guess, if you have the ethernet driver compiled in, ifconfig
 still seems to show UP, no idea why. So I think, the
script needs to be modified to test if, ifconfig spits a line with
'inet', to truly test if the interface is up.

More importantly, UP just says that the device is functioning
correctly and does not say that interface actually has an IP address
assigned to it. So we need something more to rely on, to actually test
if the interface is up and running with an IP address assigned to it.

My modifications are as follows. This script, is just a hack, so all
you bash gurus please forgive me. Maybe there is a better way of doing
all this with the help of the /proc interface:

[gentoo-user] Radeon 9200/Xorg refresh rate

[Michael Kjorling]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I have a ATI Radeon 9200 graphics card (lspci says ATI Technologies,
device 5940, rev 01) which currently drives my monitor at 48.5 kHz 60
Hz 1024x768 using x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r4 and the "radeon" driver.
I would like to raise the refresh rate to 75 Hz. How do I do that?

Various Google searches have turned me up empty, except that possibly
the answer lies in the ModeLine used. Is that correct and if so, what
values would I need to tune to adjust the refresh rate?

/etc/X11/xorg.conf says that the vertical refresh rate is "50-90" Hz.

It should definitely be a single line.  And you will want to either
reboot or run udevstart afterwards.   After this, does /dev/dvd exist?
(ls -l /dev/dvd).

> I guess it's time to remove vixie-cron and emerge 'syslog-ng' ?

Actually, that would be bad.  Vixie-cron is a process scheduler, not a
system logger, although it also creates log files in /var/log.

The system loggers available in portage are:

app-admin/sdsc-syslog
app-admin/syslog-ng
app-admin/sysklogd
app-admin/socklog
app-admin/metalog

If you don't have one of the above installed, then syslog-ng is as good as any.

To find out where your messages are going, try:

grep -r "Kernel command line" /var/log/*

I'm not sure what the problem could be then.  Maybe something in your

Current x.org versions should be able to auto-detect the VertRefresh
and HorizSync settings, as well as appropriate modelines.  So I would
comment out all such stuff from your xorg.conf file, and see if the
autodetection will work.

Probably the easiest way to do this will be:

mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.save
X -configure
(follow the printed instructions for testing the generated config)
mv  /etc/X11/xorg.conf

You may have to change /dev/mouse to /dev/input/mice in the generated
config before it will work.

Then you can diff the generated config with your old one, and see what
settings you want/need to keep.

For reference, my Monitor and Screen sections contain just:

Section "Monitor"
Identifier   "LCD"
VendorName   "ASUS"
ModelName"1680 x 1050"
#   DisplaySize  331 207

Generically modeline is the path to doing this. (I think...) I've done

Um, the Samsung SC-152G is a CD-ROM drive, not a DVD drive.  So udev

You'll need to buy a DVD drive if you want to watch DVDs.  Any ATAPI

That's a good suggestion, but what all the replies so far seem to miss
is the fact that refresh rate is a *monitor* setting, not a video card
setting (although, because the monitor is a part of the X server-- along
with the video card, mouse, and keyboard-- the possible refresh rates
are also set in xorg.conf).

So the possible refresh rates for any given resolution rely on the
monitor's capabilities, not those of the video card.

>From my own experience, this can sometimes be tricky, depending on the
monitor. For example, my monitor is a 17" Eizo F550i-W. From the Eizo
site (I don't have a manual, as this was a hand-me-down from an office
that was upgrading), I found that the monitor is capable of 1280x1024--
but [EMAIL PROTECTED], which many people find uncomfortable.

That's not the problem, though, if I want to use 1280x1024 (which I do);
the problem is that Eizo lists their monitor under both Windows and X,
meaning that they provide drivers for it, which I can use by selecting
the monitor's manufacturer and model during setup (under either Linux or
Windows). Except that the manufacturer-provided drivers are *limited* by
the manufacturer, to the "optimal" resolution of [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So under either Linux or Windows (when I was still using Windows), I
could not use the manufacturer-provided drivers for the monitor, if I
wanted to use a resolution of 1280x1024-- that resolution was not
available, because the monitor only displays that resolution at 60Hz,
and Eizo doesn't want me to use a 60Hz resolution.

The only way I am able to set my desktop to [EMAIL PROTECTED] is to not use
the manufacturer-provided driver; under Windows I used "Generic VESA
1280x1024", and under X I must set my Horizontal and Vertical refresh
ranges manually (provided on the manufacturer's site, or in a manual, if
I had one). Under X, as long as the ranges are set correctly, X knows
that the monitor can display at 1280x1024, and sets the refresh to 60
automatically for that resolution (because the ranges I've given "tell"
it the correct combination of possible resolutions and refresh rates
that can be displayed).

The point being, you need to know your monitor's specs. Is it in fact
capable of displaying [EMAIL PROTECTED] If so, the same place that told you
that should tell you the refresh ranges of the monitor. Plug those into
xorg.conf rather than whatever defaults might be there (which for me are
usually off by quite a bit, especially the horizontal range), and the
problem should sort itself after restarting the X server.

You can also do this with modelines, but I don't understand them
(meaning, I can't look at a modeline spec and know what it's trying to
do so that at need I could plug in my own), and so don't bother with them.

Hope this helps.

Back in the day, that was true.  But with modern monitors (I'm not
sure of the spec, I think is part of the VESA compliance requirements)
the video driver can query the monitor for what refresh rates and
modes supported by the monitor.  This is what the "DDC" module in X is
for, and why monitors no longer require 'drivers' (which was never a
'driver' anyway, just a .inf that told the video driver what the
possible modes were).
