To the contrary, I think that the OP has a lot to do with Gentoo and Linux in general. You see every day, like the poor Japanese Dolphins, countless numbers of cows are murdered every day. I know. But at least I hope they are not tortured and killed the way these dolphins are. Plus, as you know, dolphins are not fish, but mammals just like cows and dogs are. And which one of the three is more clever and friend to man is another discussion (not for this list). And there is another difference: The killing of those dolphins. each year, in the numbers seen on the video, may be a threat to nature's ecological system. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] radeon and framebuffer
Is it possible to have framebuffer on console with the ATI RV280 graphics card, while also getting 3D hardware acceleration when switching to X? I am asking this because according to http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ATI_Drivers we must remove Support for framebuffer devices from the kernel.

I am asking this because according to http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ATI_Drivers we must remove Support for framebuffer devices from the kernel. Aggelos. Looks like you didn't read the entry thoroughly; Yes. You're right. this quote is below the screenshot of the kernel config specifying no framebuffer support: I have a Radeon 9500/9600 (not sure which) in a Dell Inspiron 8600 and was able to compile support for the framebuffer devices. I used the vesa-tng framebuffer device for getting fbsplash to work. I am running kernel 2.6.14-gentoo-r2. The program 'fglrxinfo' reports that I am getting 3D hardware acceleration. I myself have a 9800SE, and also use vesa-tng for fbsplash. Both fbsplash/framebuffer and fglrx work fine; aside from the fb console background, I can even play mplayer videos in the getty console, which is also a framebuffer operation as far as I know. I have heard that enabling the radeon framebuffer is a bad idea, though (it doesn't work well with the fglrx drivers). But stick to vesa or vesa-tng, and you should have no problems. I haven't, from 2.6.13 kernels up to my current (2.6.15-r7), and with fglrx versions from 8.8.whatever to my current 8.22.5. Did you compile vesa-tng as module or in the kernel (if it matters) ? I use linux-2.6.15-reiser4-r1 (sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r1 sys-kernel/reiser4-gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r1) As far as I can see, I have to select * Support for frame buffer devices for VESA VGA graphics support to appear as an option. If I choose M for Support for frame buffer devices, I don't have the VESA option available. Right? Thanks.

Not super sure but try this, Tools Options up pops a new window, then select Language Settings Language. Choose what you want from the list I guess. Mine is set to English by default. I had tried that, but the only options there, are: -Default and -Greek (of course those are in the greek language/locale).

I have alsa-driver version 1.0.10_r3 and up until today, when I synced, there wasn't a problem with alsa-utils. I assumed that the downgrade was because one of the other packages in the list. However, I did 'emerge --pretend' on each of the other packages and none listed alsa-utils as a dependency. Then, I emerged each of the packages individually and got no error messages. After emerging all other packages, my system reboots fine and there seems to be no problems. However, now if I run 'emerge --pretend --update --deep world', emerge still wants to downgrade alsa-utils. Hi, It's a question of adding one additional option to emerge: --tree (-t). It'll then display some additional packages for which the upgrades are dependencies, check the one above alsa-utils - it requires the downgrade. Rumen Since I upgraded all the packages individually, only alsa-utils remains for upgrade/downgrade. However, I did try 'emerge --pretend --update --deep --tree alsa-utils' and it didn't return any dependencies. The list as given above was the complete list, so I'm not sure what was meant by check the one above alsa-utils'.
