In short: do not install both overlays on the same machine at the same time. Use one of them. Period.

If you happen to encounter an error with either one, feel free to join #gentoo-e on freenode,

I am using a selfmade ebuild for the equinox engine, since the equinox themes are the only ones I currently find bearable. Most darker/greysih themes are unusable, especially with Qt's gtk mode. Unfortunately it seems to be a dead end, too. Also it suffers from the same error.

To solve this issue, just patch it replacing "<glib/gtimer.h>" with "<glib.h>".

Thanks for solving this! Yesterday, before I read this thread, I thought about your solution, too, but I also thought "Nah, this is stupid."

Should have listened to my intuition.

This is the link to VIA binary drivers, they are not really open source and you need to ignore the fact that you dont find Gentoo on the list, just try to find a matching kernel and chipset. I never tried that myself. http://linux.via.com.tw/support/downloadFiles.action

You can also bug the guys ...

I own three different VIA boards/systems, they are all pretty easy to run/use, if you know the quirks.

Your board might be 64bit, try to boot from a 64bit livecd and if that works, go for a 64bit installation. The rest is pretty easy, just search your kernels "menuconfig" for via specific stuff ...

I think this is a BIOS issue. Did you set any "Critical Temperature" stuff in the BIOS? I guess this is a manufactures way of protecting the laptop from overheating damage.
I never had anything like this on any of the systems I owned.

Whoa, your python really is outdated -> dev-lang/python-2.7.2-r3 [2.4.4-r13]
You could try to merge a python 2.6 version as a temporary solution. Maybe this will satsify some of the packages now screaming for a 2.7 version.

Note that the following advices might lead to a non-working system, read up ...

What I am looking for is a game or simulation that reflects mass human behaviour and the destruction of nature until they die of it.

http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Autofs This is the wikiarticle, I used it for quite a while in the early days of HAL, instead of HAL. But it wasnt as stable or comfy as HAL was. Today, there is the whole udisk stuff which in general is a pita to set up if you do not use gnome/kde: http://forums ...

Nice, framerates look impressive for that gpu!

From the guide you mentioned above, this was the last part that initially helped me to get it going:

If you use simple display manager without built-in ConsoleKit support, such as XDM or SLIM, you also need to change:
/etc/pam.d/system-login from this:
session optional pam_ck_connector.so nox11 ...

This recently happened to me for lots of youtube videos, the issue is now gone. Seemed that waiting for a about a minute or two often loaded the video. Upgrading flash and opera might have helped, but i am not sure. I use 10.3.183.10 on amd64-hardened-multilib profile.
On other pages, when i get a ...

z0ny: did you fix it somehow? Or understood the cause of the problem?

Also, do I understand correctly, that antivir only segfaults on one of the two systems and doesnt on the other? And same with the fprot error? I currently have a similiar error with another app, but that happens on two of my boxes.

this must be produced by some file, but I can't find it (e.g. by grepping "would not start" in /etc/init.d/* or whatever)

The error text is probably somewhere under /usr/bin or /usr/share or where the script that runs the whole init stuff is residing. So just grep for "hal" through /etc. Also ...

What I need to now is which config option in a probably stale configuration file causes the xdm init script to abort when it there is no running hal.

Mabye you did this already, but grep for hal in /etc/init.d (and /etc/conf.d, but I doubt that is the clue).
If you are using openrc/baselayout-2 ...

thanks for the line. I went through the steps again. I did not emerge "emerge -av1 --noconfmem consolekit pambase shadow" correctly.
Now when I login to console on boot i get: "active=TRUE" but when I startx I lose TRUE and get "active=FALSE". ? ? ?
This is how I startx:
export XDG_MENU_PREFIX ...

I can use etc-update and have done from the start, dispatch-conf just confuses me though, maybe its time to give it another try. etc-update is easy to understand though, the options are there sort of self explanatory - keep the old copy, keep the new copy or interactively merge both - and with that ...

Use dispatch-conf, it is easier. But read up on it, this will happen a lot when you use gentoo. Almost every time you update a lot of packages.

A truely noob question but: I'm having trouble setting active = TRUE . Is that done via kernel make or is it edited in a script and where is the script?
Thanks
Actually, this should be the outcome of the rituals you should performe according to the firtst post in this thread. ck-list-sessions is ...

I hear you! I also don't understand the obsession, as you call it. It is actually the first time I noticed that a working, stable feature is masked by removing the useflag from profile, when there is not even a security thread.

What was your issue? Did you try the places module? Tommy[D] should finally get rid of that one, upstream is unmaintained and it really needs hal on your system.

That was easy............

Thanks a lot for this guide, I finally managed to get usb stick mounting again. Totally painless....

With HAL, I just put a user into the plugdev group and all was golden, now I have to dance naked in full moon and smear myself with menstruational blood from a 85year old ...

Since the global masking of hal useflag, you need to install eeze and e_dbus with udev useflag.

Again, ask in #gentoo-e on freenode, I am idling there 24/7 and you will get faster answers. I am not always browsing the forums.
