Re: [gentoo-user] Re: glx dri fail to load for nv
I'm seeing tearing from the nv xorg driver. I think it's because the glx and dri modules are failing to load, and I think that's because I'm missing a kernel option or two. Can anyone tell me what I might be missing in the kernel for an Nvidia card? BTW, the proprietary nvidia driver works great but I'd like to get nv working too. A bit off-topic, but nv is dead upstream (NVidia dropped it). You might want to look into the Nouveau open source driver if you have hardware supported by it (it even supports 3D): http://nouveau.freedesktop.org It's better than the crappy nv driver by orders of magnitude. That's great! I'll ask the Nouveau list about VDPAU support. - Grant

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: libpng12 is missing
Argh. Just have to vent a little. Bring up a new install on a system whose system disk died and was replaced with an SSD. OS installed no problems. Recovered my RAID5 and LVM JBOD volume (a GIANT THANK YOU to the mdadm and lvm2 folks!). Then first weekly update hits the libpng12 issue. No complaints, it's what I expect being at ~amd64 and the price I willing pay for the benefits of gentoo. Another THANK YOU to the lafilefixer folks and system is up. So on to my list a applications to be installed. Firefox check, openoffice check, handbrake...crap. Handbrake is one of the non-standard packages that includes their own version of support libraries. You guessed it, libpng12 dependent. Argh! Have fun, Roy

[gentoo-user] USB printer and new cups
Hi there! I want to setup an USB printer. So I http://localhost:631/, and notice that the interface has changed. And when I try to add a printer, the only options for a local printer are SCSI-printer and HAL printing backend. And on the next screen, I have to enter the device URI by hand. How should I know what to enter there? And wasn't there an autodetect feature? Is the new CUPS (1.4.3) generally behaving like this lately, or is something wrong with my setup? The usb use flag is set. lsusb shows the printer as Bus 001 Device 003: ID 04a9:10a5 Canon, Inc. iP5200. What is a HAL printing backend? Do I have to add some crazy fdi stuff for the printer? CUPS does not even have a hal use flag. Dale, help! Wonko

That was when I realized it was turned off, so I turned it back on and hplip or something just added the printer without me doing anything. KDE showed a little pop up and it was done and it has printed ever since. This could be habit forming tho. ;-) I like things that just work. Do you have ppds and dbus USE flag enabled for cups? As far as I know, that is all I enabled for mine. Just for reference, this is my USE flags: USE=X avahi dbus gnutls java jpeg ldap pam perl png ppds python ssl tiff zeroconf -acl -kerberos -php -samba -slp -static -xinetd The two I mentioned above is the main ones I would guess.

But my main problem is another one: How do I tell CUPS which device my printer is? I tried usb:/dev/usb/lp0 (found this notation when googling 'usb printer device uri'), but nothing happens when I try to print. And now it gets really crazy: In the printer overview I see not only the 'iP5200' I just created, but also a 'iP52002' that has the device URI 'usb://Canon/iP5200'. What did create this?! But printing to that does not work either. Wonko

Where are all the rest of your useflags? That was my first impression also, but those are only the USE flags for cups. Mine are a little different, but I have another cups version (Dale does not even seem have a usb USE flag): USE=X acl dbus java jpeg ldap linguas_de pam perl php png python samba slp ssl tiff usb -debug -gnutls -kerberos -static -xinetd) Alex: when I plug in my HP USB printer, I see this in dmesg: usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 usb 2-2: New USB device found, idVendor=03f0, idProduct=1617 usb 2-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 usb 2-2: Product: hp LaserJet 3015 usb 2-2: Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard usb 2-2: SerialNumber: 00CNBM369103 usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 2 if 0 alt 1 proto 2 vid 0x03F0 pid 0x1617 usbcore: registered new interface driver usblp Do you see somethinhg different?

It's not enabled, but it is not disabled either. I do have usb enabled globally tho. Strange but my printer works fine. This made me think, hplip is not running anymore. This is weird. Printers on this time too. lol Dale :-) :-)

Do you have sane installed? - if its a multifunction device sane may have grabbed it first (for the scanner) locking the printer out. Requires some manual tuning of the udev rules if this is the case (this is required by my epson multifunction) BillK -- William Kenworthy bi...@iinet.net.au Home in Perth!
[gentoo-user] kdrive use flag quandary
I am trying to update a laptop after a break of a few months and have an ... anomaly! It suddenly wants the kdrive use flag enabled for xorg-server and sabayon - why? I think kdrive is a minimal xserver built on top of xorg so its not appropriate for a system I want full functionality on - is it? How can I find out whats bringing this use flag in as I cant find anything so far. BillK -- William Kenworthy bi...@iinet.net.au Home in Perth!
