[gentoo-user] Install on a Dell E4300
Hi all, I was trying to install Gentoo 2008.0 in a Dell E4300 but the kernel does not have support for the Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82567LM Gigabit Network Connection. Does anybody try to install Gentoo in that notebook? or does anybody knows a better way to get gentoo working on this dell notebook? I did the following : Get the stages 2 files, download the kernel 2.6.28 and compile it and after that I got support for my ethernet card and wireless card but the resto of the installation was really problematic, so I decided to make that question in these lists. thanks in advance and best regards. -- Francisco Rivas http://www.vaslibre.org.ve - And on the seventh day God said :wq and then make http://beck3r.wordpress.com/ Linux User (New) : #448324 Linux Machine (New) : 355187

Deciding that I could not work with that I tried the open source drivers for the ati card. I followed this guide: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_DRI_with_ATi_Open-Source_Drivers and added these lines to my make.conf: INPUT_DEVICES=keyboard mouse VIDEO_CARDS=savage radeon reinstalled my x-server and tried to start x. This failed. I then spent one hour or so tweaking xorg.conf and about 10 minutes ago I finally found a combination that seems to work. I still can't get max resolution for my monitor (1920*1200) but everything else seems to work to a degree that I can live with for now. Thanks for all the pointers and advices.

Re: [gentoo-user] Problems starting X
Hi Johannes and every friend of the list :D. Johannes two things: 1.- I think (i guess) it's better install the 8.36.5 ati drivers, because the 8.32.5 ati drivers is too bugs and is better have the actual driver, you can download from the ati page and put on the portage distfiles and install it. 2.- If you don't like the 1 then look here : http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-554065-start-0-postdays-0-postorder-asc-highlight-atidrivers.htmland http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-554736.html?sid=eeac31c8c7d77b4d130703a372462537 that persons have a problem very similary to yours. Well about your question I think, check your kernel configuration Graphics Drivers, you have to unmark the ATI modules of the kernel. At last, I had the same problem with 8.32.5 my laptop frezee and the only thing what can I do was reset using the Power bottom; and the solution was install the 8.36.5ati driver, believe me.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: CFLAGS ...-O3 -pipe vs ...O2 no pipe
Hi all.. I think what -O3 is not _dangerous_ when you know how to use, a few posts ago someone mentioned not all of packages can be compiled using -O3, if I am not wrong was GCC and OpenOffice.org. The thing is: -O3 is not a _damage_ is an carefully flag to compile for some packages.. In some webpages I people said : .. -O3 is not used by developer because come troubles when you want to do a debug... But: http://www.nersc.gov/vendor_docs/intel/f_ug2/dbg_opt.htm, http://linuxgazette.net/121/hegde.html, http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/macxhelp/v6v81/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.xlf81m.doc/pgs/ug42.htm . ...The following setting is the Optimizations. You shouldn't use O3 as it takes longer to compile, the generated code will be sometimes faster, sometimes slower and almost always larger. For example, a program that was compiled with the O2 level of optimization is 250KB large and is quite fast, the same program compiled with the O3 level of optimization can take more time to compile, produce a larger binary, depending on the code, even 500-700KB large and it can be slower or faster. Therefore, the O3 optimization level isn't recommended. Use O2 if you need the best optimization without adding the risk of obtaining large binaries, which need a long time to be loaded before being executed and are not always faster... take of http://www.softpedia.com/reviews/linux/Gentoo-Review-20543.shtml.

Hi all.. Certainly some package have a maximun optimisation. I really believe, the optimisation level is a very interesting thing bucause all depend of what you need and you have all power of your system, only gentoo can give you that. it's very good to see a server compiling most of the applications, and people with few resources in thier pc's can run a very good operating system and no die trying... :P Looking for more information on the web, I see http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7269. In that article: ...The simplest way to achieve good performance is to rely on the -O2 optimization level; if you're not interested in portability, specify the target architecture using -march=.

Re: [gentoo-user] profile upgrade from 2005.1 to 2006.1
Hi, I think is better unmerge =x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 and if you need emerge a new packages because I see you trying to do an upgrade of your system.. I wonder what you think about emerge xorg-x11-7-1?... Theese are my comments to help you, I hope so. On 3/13/07, de Almeida, Valmor F.
