update: machine is here, all three OSes installed already.
Snappy performance, nice ...

Right now I am fiddling with getting Gnome installed and running.

Fedora needed the kernel option "i915.preliminary_hw_support=1" set (in
grub.cfg) to enable the skylake graphics.

found this:

the module option is now "enable_ips=0" ... but this doesn't work for me
so far.

I have X starting now. gdm as well, but with problems:

the mouse somehow pulls a "curtain" up and down ... so the display is
not correct. The lower part is one color only so I can't do anything
useful yet.

And the display seems to be shifted, "Activities" (should be left upper
corner) has the on/off and speaker symbols to its left.

If I pull the mouse down to the bottom of the screen the desktop snaps
into correct place.

Strange ;)

Is it possible that stable (in gentoo terms) Xorg does not yet fully
support skylake graphics?

btw I also placed the firmware from

https://01.org/zh/linuxgraphics/intel-linux-graphics-firmwares

into /lib/firmware/i915

[gentoo-user] libgpod comment bug

[ddjones]

I'm reemerging Amarok after adding the ipod flag and libgpod fails to install 
due to bug 537968.  

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=537968

There's a patch for the bug, which I've copied, but it's not being applied:

I'm using the instructions found here:

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=349707#c11

However, it doesn't look like portage is even recognizing the patch:

Any hints or suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you.  First time I'd tried to use that method of patching and I wasn't 
aware it had to be enabled in the ebuild.  Creating an /etc/portage/bashrc as 
directed in your link solved the issue.

Looking at the ebuild, it is not enabled for epatch_user,

  Success.  After a bit of experimenting I've gotten h.264 working at
the quirksmode website, and on Youtube.  Pale Moon browser requires...

gstreamer
gst-plugins-base
gst-plugins-good
gst-plugins-ffmpeg

  A confusing item is that gst-plugins-base and gst-plugins-good are in
media-libs/ but gst-plugins-ffmpeg and 77 others are in media-plugins/
Go figure.

  Nothing on my system requires 1.X and I prefer a lean system.

I think that's a problem with perl.
When I send an email with sendEmail comes SSLv3 Aler handshake failure.
if I use a newer sendEmail version (1.56.5) comes Segnentation fault.
when I start sendEmail on CentOS is everything ok.
