From the Changelog: At the request of QA team the use of DRACUT_MODULES use-expand has been removed as well as run-time (pseudo-suggested) dependencies. Instead, the list of suggested dependencies is printed in postinst log message. See bug #498832.

Thing is tho, those init thingys have a history of screwing up with me even before I started using Gentoo. It was one reason I switched distros. I was using Mandrake before Gentoo. When I tried a while back, the init thingy failed and I couldn't boot with it. Once I got it working, I didn't even touch it again. No clue why it stopped working even tho it worked for a while. At some point, it'll fail and I can't boot either way, with or without a init thingy. At that point, it could be new distro time. I like Gentoo but as I have said before, when a OS stops suiting my needs, like booting up, then I'll switch. This computer is a doorstop when the OS doesn't boot. I've made some progress but the latest dracut won't include the stuff it needs so I had to go back to a older version. No clue why the old one will work and the new one won't. I've played with the config files but the new one is persistent on not including what I need.

Gentoo dropped support for booting without mounting /usr early in boot a while back. That isn't to say that it would have instantly stopped working, but there is no requirement for package maintainers to support this configuration, and many upstreams have been moving in directions that will tend to break this. There are many ways to get around this. The most common is to mount /usr from your initramfs. Another option is to run a script early during boot to mount /usr, ensuring that the necessary tools to do so are on your root partition. Another option is to put /usr on your root partition.

Normal partitions, /boot and root itself. /usr and /var on LVM. Those are on one drive. I also have /home on LVM on its own drive. At that point, I'm pretty sure /usr wasn't mounted. I think / and /boot were only mounted ro too. It was somewhat early in the boot process. I'm trying to build one following the wiki. So far, nothing. I got some neato error messages tho. So far, nothing in /boot that look inity. This is why I don't like these things. I finally got one to build a long time ago and it booted several times. Then one day, the init thingy failed. I edited grub and booted without the init thingy and it booted fine. When I tried again, the init failed again just like before so I booted without it and then deleted the thing since it didn't work anyway. That was the last time I had one on here. This could get fun. I figure I will be very pissed before the day is over. This could be a hal type situation. Old timers know what that means. Dale :-) :-)

It seems that I may have to build one of those init thingys again tho. I got a few errors while booting. New thread on that later. :-@ I googled and yea, that is a large drive. I wonder if one that size really even exists tho? It seems something is ready for a drive that big since it thinks that one is. I guess. At least we know now, don't trust a drive when it starts spitting out errors like that. Now I can practice with my new pistol tho. ;-) Dale :-) :-)

OK, from what I've read this does work, but requires specific configuration in the kernel, in the xorg.conf and the target (DE) desktop environment to work. Also there are several ways to achieve this multi-head system and the final outcome is sometimes constrained by a variety of factors. No doubt this will be a "project" for you. > More information will be provided once I know this is possible. Exact specification of the video cards, your DE, and which method you choose will be needed to google for specific examples and receive help from others. > If the answer is yes, then my next step is figuring out why I can get > either monitor to work alone, but can't get both of them to work together. Yes, let's start with gentoo's page on this: [1] Here are some additional links that, once you read them, you'll have a basis and resources to cut snippets into a highly customized xorg.conf file. [2] Also, do you want one big virtual screen across the (2) monitors, or do you want them to display form different applications? Also do you want a second keyboard and mouse so it can also be used like a second workstation at times? I saw a few sites that talk about how to switch between modes. So define exactly what you want to do and verbosely list your hardware. Then google for specific code snippets and cobble together your xorg.conf. Then we can hack away at that, based on any additional features that your chosend (DE) provides (features or management of hardware). Last, folks are raving about multihead monitor support with LXQT which used QT5, but that all seems to be very news. Once you figure this out, give some feedback to the gentoo docs team to enhance [1]. BGO would be keen for new information on multi headed options. hth, James [1] http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Xorg/Multihead [2] http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxAndDualMonitors.html [2] http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Multiple_Monitors_with_Nvidia [3] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/multihead [4] http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Radeon [5] http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Using_Multiple_Screens [6] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo [7] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Multihead

I hadn't thought of it for Konsole, but now I have and I like it. But something's odd here: I've chosen the 17pt size, and I wanted to delete the oblique stroke from it, but as far as I can see there isn't a 17pt font anywhere on the system! Unless it's hidden in a file with no 17 in its name, or Konsole is scaling the font itself. Any ideas, anyone? -- Rgds Peter.
