I installed and compiled the newest stable gentoo-sources, restarted my system with the new kernel but nothing changed.
Afterwards I installed the new ati-drivers, rebooted the system again and tried to start X. The only thing I got was a black screen. I tried this several times, but had no luck ...

This is my emerge --info

Hello,

I set up gentoo on my Asus A6VA. Everything works fine except of graphics. When I move windows around, scroll in browsers for example, or watch a video with vlc or kaffeine the cpu usage rises to 80-100%. Even if I enable the analyzer in amarok the cpu usage is obviously higher.

My ...

Does not somebody else habe another idea?

There is no headphone socket.

I installed alsa 1.0.10 and 1.0.10-r1 today. Both versions work well with the internal speakers of my notebook.
It is a Asus A6VA with a intel-hda soundchip. This is what lspci says:

I installed gentoo on a vmware machine.
Now I would like to install it on the host machine and would like to use the existing packages.
Is there any way to make binary packages of all installed packages?

Thanks

I am searching for a solution to choose titles in XMMS via lirc.
In Xmms you can press the j key and type in the name of the song you would like to hear. I want to do this with my remote.
Does anybody know a software or another mp3-player which can do this?

Thanks

Yeah, thanks a lot. Starting lirc the way you said works.

I am trying to make lirc working with my Medion X10 usb remote. I took this for help: http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Medion_USB_X10_Fernbedienung_mit_LIRC (German)

The kernel modules lirc_atiusb and lirc_dev were loaded successfully although I could not find the options "input core support ...

Ok, thanks for your answer!

Thanks for your quick answer. The splashscreen fades in now and the text with the black boxes around doesn't appear anymore. But the progressbar does not show any progress. It stands still at the beginning, shows 0 percent after a few seconds and never changes. Then I get a black screen for a few ...

Do I have to set a comma between "fadein" and "quiet" too?

I installed the splashutils 1.1.9.4 as it is discribed in the gentoo wiki at http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash

Using the verbose mode it all works fine, but on silent mode the bootmessages appear over the bootsplash with black boxes around them. Entering runlevel 3 it fully disappears.

]Seems like you guys are having tons of issues. Have you tried running a bootstrap just for the sake of trying and then emerge -e system?
Ok, just to run a check what profile did you guys originally start out with when you were doing your stage 3 install?

I did a stage 3 install as ...

@yaneurabeya

Probably because your gcc got upgraded in the process (not sure which stage you used).

Run fix_libtool_files.sh 3.3.5

I did a stage 3 intall.
After running the failure still remains.
Do you thing that a stage 1 install would not have that problem?

Is there no way to tell portage to install a special file, even if it is not in the portage tree?

I want to install Open Office from my package-cd. But since I did an

emerge --sync

emerge does not find any file on the cd anymore.
