[gentoo-user] USE flags for tif/tiff
Are there USE flags (except for tif/tiff) I must add to make.conf/USE=... string which influence to tif/tiff rendering? I have noticed, I can not open some tif files which were created by scanning-related software on win32 machines.

To summarize: The TIFF file format permits programs to include information which only that program understands. TIFF files produced by programs that do this are not always readable by other programs. and End result: if you get your hands on one of these old style jpeg in tiff files, you're pretty much out of luck.

Re: [gentoo-user] Problem using gnomeas non-root user
This is probably silly, but perhaps you'd want to check and make sure
dbus and hald are started at boot, and add them if they aren't.
'rc-update add dbus default' and rc-update add hald default' would do
the trick.

Imagine such a situation: I have two hard drives but drive A is twice faster when reading and writing then drive B. I want to make RAID 0 using A and B. Why are the stripes sizes on both drives excacly the same? (I've googled and didn't find any information about different spripes sizes) I think that using twice greater stripe on A gives more speed then using equal stripes. And my question is: where am I doing a mistake? PS Sorry for my poor English -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list Forgive me the maths approach here, but if drive A reads/writes at speed a, and drive B at speed b. a = 2*b from what you have said. In raid 0 drive speed is limited by the slower drive (if I recall correctly) so the speed your raid array would be limited to is b + b = 2b = a (from above). Hence you would be as well not bothering with RAID if drive A is 2x as fast as drive B. Naturally it's not as clear cut but should be pretty close. RAID 0ing these drives would gain you little in terms of speed while any 2 drive RAID 0 setup increases the chance of failure by 2. If you just want them to appear as one drive look at something like LVM which can create one volume from both drives, although parts of the volume on drive A would be faster than those parts on drive B. Just my £0.02, feel free to poke holes in my reasoning ;) well, I'll try a bit perhaps. Given my scheme, we should really be talking about 3 drives -- well, actualy you generally raid _partitions_. A = fast disk, or speed thereof B = slow disk. or speed thereof A1 = first partition, size R/3, fast disk A2 = second partition, size R/3, fast disk B1 = first partition, size R/3, slow disk raid-0 is A1 + A2 + B1 now let's say you have a file N to pull from the disk. Naturally, one third of it will come from each partition. that is, two-thirds of it comes from A, and A being twice as fast as drive B, the one-third that's on B gets done in about the same amount of time. so N mb is copied in max( (2/3*N)/A , (1/3*N)/B ) seconds which should be roughly the same. if N was on A alone obviously the speed would be N/A seconds. (N/A) (2/3*N)/A. in reality, though, I think the best performance would probaby involve just using the fast drive. RAID introduces too much overhead to make up for itself in this situation I think. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I'm betting the act of seeking across the platters on the fast drive for two separate partitions on the disk makes performance truly awful. The idea of separate stripe sizes in the original post makes sense for shifting more I/O to drive A, the fast one, without causing weird things to happen on the physical disc that the software can't optimize for. However I think messing with stripe sizes is not something Linux software raid (or any hardware raid I've dealt with) supports. kashani -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Bad sound card drivers?
I recently switched laptops and although the new one is faster, the sound is much worse. lspci reports the sound card this way: ALi Corporation M5451 PCI AC-Link Controller Audio Device (rev 02) The problem is I need to use a sip phone (sjphone) and I can barely make out what the other person is saying. Is there any way I can try to improve the sound quality/performance? I am using the in-kernel alsa drivers. Is it worth a try to emerge the ones in portage instead or is that unlikely to help? - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
