I succesfully built smilutils-0.1.2 without problems.
But smil2yuv is very slow (hi cpu and 3 fps).
Tryied with some optimization (-O3) with no differences.

I migrated from 2.4 to 2.6 kernel.

I reinstalled all nfs-related user-space programs with no luck.
The warning message was still there.

But I forgot to rebuild the automount package :oops:
I use autofs to mount nfs shares: I think /usr/lib/autofs/mount_nfs.so was the problem.
Now the message ...

Generally speaking, 32bit plugins work with 32bit browsers, and 64bit plugins works with 64bit browsers.

In fact on my dual Opteron box, Netscape recognize Shockwave Flash and Acrobat plugins, while Firefox recognize Java (both 64bit built from scratch).

32bit emulation support does not help. I ...

I noticed the current version of kde is 3.2.1, but kde-i18n-3.2.1 is masked. Emerging kde-i18n will install 3.2.0 and downgrade part of kde.

Please unmask 3.2.1 if possible.

The above combination requires that you use -funsafe-math-optimizations, otherwise you're breaking Acovea's method. Removing it from your profile will give you an entirely different set of results.

Acovea method works fine for specific problems, the profiles are always kept separate. IMHO putting ...

I don't know if nbench is the best choice...
These are Native Mode (a.k.a. Algorithm Level) tests; benchmarks designed to expose the capabilities of a system's CPU, FPU, and memory system.

I still don't know what the best benchmark would be though... I asked Scott in another thead, still waiting ...

As promised, these are the results of acovea on my system
(Dual Opteron 242, 2x512MB, MSI mobo)


Score | So? | Switch (annotation)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
45.1 | Yes | -funsafe-math-optimizations (fast math)
43.1 | Yes | -ftracer
36.2 ...

I wonder what it'll take to rewrite acovea to use user time instead of real time, so it won't be neccessary to run the tests while the system is otherwise left idle.

I tried to benchmark many programs (mainly for floating point) in working environments. Both system & user time are NOT accurate. I ...

Analizing the command:

/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link g++ -O3 -mcpu=i686 -funroll-loops -pipe -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -o af6_decore.la -rpath /usr/lib/transcode -module -avoid-version af6_decore.lo ioaux.lo -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib -laviplay -lstdc++ -lm ...

So DISPLAY variable syntax has changed, interesting...

Such thing broken many programs, first of all xdm/kdm/gdm.
I can't login remotely anymore, so I'm re-emerging xfree
without "ipv6" in USE to test if it's really the bad thing.

Stay tuned !

EDIT:
The trick worked: removing "ipv6" from USE, no ...

I tested your ebuild. Kannel seems to work fine with WAP protocol.

Thanks!

I'm trying to create an ebuild for xtris. It's my first time, so pls be patient

CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" doesn't work.

I built "manually" kdemultimedia successfully removing "-ansi".

Any trick for this?

I'm trying to emerge kdemultimedia 3.1.2-r1
Meanwhile I changed kernel (from 2.4.20 to 2.4.21, both vanilla)
I installed manually the kernel and the relative links in /usr/include
(I don't like the copy of include directories, like emerge do)

My flags are:
USE="-cups dvd sse -ldap"
CFLAGS="-march ...

Finally kernel 2.4.21-rc1-ac4 contains support for intel 855PM agp bridge.

Now DRI with radeon9000m works; glxgears returns 1436fps ... not so fast but better than previous 260fps

Spero di farcela in 24 ore, deve ricompilarsi anche X e Kde :D
Ha iniziato, sto a 14 di 303 :o
ma glibc e gcc non dovrebbero essere i primi che ricompila?
In che ordine va?

Thanks

Dal manuale di "emerge":

Virtually tweaks the tree of installed packages to only contain glibc ...

Attivato il dma sui dischi? (hdparm /dev/hda)
Il tuo kernel e' preemptive (famosa patch nel gentoo-sources)?
Queste sono cose che ho letto nel forum gentoo internazionale ...

Ciao !

Il profilo scelto me lo ritrovo poi in /proc/cmdline che posso leggere da uno
start-up script simile al tuo. In effetti il profilo auto fa esattamente quello che fai tu verificando che giorno e' :-)

Not meaning to start a flamewar, but has anyone compared Centrino laptops to Transmeta laptops? Thinking mostly of battery life, performance, and price here. And Linux support of course ;-)

Here is my analysis, even if I don't think it's the right place to post it.

One night on internet ...

notebook: targa visionary amd 2200+, 40gb, ati radeon 9000 64mb, 15" 1024x768, 512mb
linux: knoppix 3.2, don't know what kernel (think 2.4.20) and i can't test it again at the moment because i gave him my cd.
glxgears resulted in 2000+ fps.
my matrox in my desktop: 200 fps.

Ahh an AMD... this ...

Do you have ACPI installed? With ACPI enabled my network card driver loads and I can see it with ifconfig but it won't transfer anything. Add APCI=off and everything works fine.

I tried "acpi=off" as boot paramenter, acpi effectively has been disabled, but network is still not working.
Looking at ...

I finally make 2.5.68 boot, the main problem is network.

My Broadcom 4401 works with 2.4.20 (bcm440 module), but not with new kernel driver (b44 module):
b44: eth0: Link is down

"ifconfig" recognise eth0 device, but "route" refuses to add an entry in it's table.

Have I to install iproute2 ...

Just a couple of notes on the centrino problems mentioned:

One might try the binary only driver Intel makes available, which is said to work also with the 855 chipset:

In addition, it is said in other ...

i don't think so: when i tested the ati radeon 9000 in a friend's notebook it was 10 times faster than my matrox millenium g550 with glxgears.
Do you remember the notebook model and the kernel version?
Module agpgart (required by "radeon") refuses to load ... so glxgears give me only 300fps.

Did ...

that Acer looks cool!! the only thing that I dont like is that the video is ati ... and not nvidia...
I had a alienware and I had some trouble with ati drivers to split my screen with the monitor....
My choice was Dell or Acer, I choose the last one because dell was
nvidia equipped... expensive ...
