I just updated my system, and while I'm waiting on a few other packages to update (IE, Myth TV) separately, I decided to play a flash game... Everything works fine, except for the part where no keys that I press, that relate to various ingame keys, respond at all. From what I can tell, the keys aren ...

emerge -pv net-irc/xchat-gnome

Sorry, my mistake, it's not xchat-gnome, is regular xchat

doing the above emerge command on the plain xchat
gamer ~ # emerge -pv net-irc/xchat

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

I've got libsexy, enchant, and xchat installed, and recently noticed that I don't have spellchecker working, or not working anymore for some reason.

Are there any ways to enable it, as i've not seen any tabs/options for it in the GUI

EDIT: Had to correct xchat-gnome to xchat, I thought I was using ...

I've got this wireless N D-link USB dongle thingy, (pretty much a wireless card for your USB) given to me as a gift, and was wondering how I would set it up under gentoo. I've had no experience with the USB Modems, nor do I know the first place to look for instructions on it. Some help would be ...

I think your problem may be due to bad interaction between the kernel's internal module and the NTFS-3G module. I was advised a while ago to just go with the NTFS-3G only and has been working fine.

the only thing that's on, in Kernel, as i've just checked, is the Fuse, on as a Module. NTFS in ...

For some odd reason, after having asked for a mate of mine to copy some of his stuff over onto my external HDD, which runs 3 ~300gb partitions, one of those partitions seems to have become 'empty'. It still shows up as there is over 100gb of stuff on the partition, but opening it up in MC or through ...

Ok, I've recently dug up my Wacom Graphire4 6x8 tablet, and started fiddling with it. Works fine on my windows partition, but I'm very cautious about the drivers on my linux/gentoo partition, and how to install them. I remember that I never was able to get it to work properly, nor recognize the ...

I am having a problem with Wine running Pharaoh in a windowed mode (well windowed via winecfg setting, but also windowed if trying to switch in game).
With Wine emulating a window:
The Game starts, shows the first few loading screens before the main menu, and then, I get the sound in the main menu ...

The first thing that jumps out at me is that you're using gcc-4.3.1, which is still unstable, and problematic.

You seem to be running a full bore unstable system. Doing that, you have to accept that there are going to be problems. While I am running gcc-4.2.3, which is technically unstable, I've ...

Is Gentoo the only OS you have on this system? If not, do the others have this problem?

Do you have an older kernel that allows things to work?

Blessed be!

I've got windows installed (XP SP2, Dualbooting) and there is no problem, the machine has run fine for a period of a day, on several ...

I've upgraded the kernel to 2.6.26-gentoo-r1 , and cleaned up a bit, on what was compiling and what wasn't (useless stuff got taken out)

At the moment, the problem stands, except, where before it would do the whole 'freezing up' over a period of about 15 minutes, it is now doing it in a period of ...

Start looking in your kernel .config. If this seems daunting, then send it (yes, all of it) as well as the results of lspci -n, cat /proc/cpuinfo, and emerge --info and /etc/fstab here, and I'll see what you have set up improperly in your kernel .config.

Or, if you'd rather do it for yourself ...

For some reason, after about 2-3 hours of this laptop working, or just idling, all the processes seem to go into Sleeping mode.

It seemed to have frozen, but yet, not frozen (opening or closing the laptop lid has no effect). The mouse still moves, and I can press buttons, or such, but nothing opens ...

I keep having a problem with my headphones (Any set I try)

I've got a HP Pavillion DV9700 laptop, and installed gentoo on it, however, when I plug in any headphones, the sound from the speakers goes quiet, and there is no sound in the headphones. If I raise or lower the volume, or mute/unmute, the ...

I've always wanted to be able to play my PS2 outside of the main room where it is currently held, but I have no spare monitors to set up, but, only a laptop that runs Gentoo.

I keep having the problem , that I can't seem to figure out at all.

I've set up NFS to (in FSTAB) to auto-mount 2 directories that are on another machine. The machine is basically a server that contains movies and data, that can be viewed by those with NFS set up, on the local area network.

(CROSS POST FROM TRANSGAMING FORUMS)

Just wondering if anyone got Kane's Wrath going on cedega yet?

I can get as far as getting the game to display the "Loading" (splash) screen that's still in desktop (before starting the game itself, the CnC3 KW logo pretty much) and just hang there.
What I did ...

Firstly, both games start and work on wine 0.9.58 and 0.9.61 with cursor patches, (followed the Wine HQ how-to)
I've disabled GLSL, to get the menu to show up, however
The ingame videos (like the start video/ea-logo) are purely black, with sound playing for the video

Disabling / Enabling GLSL does ...

I've just decided to sit down and play EvE, using the 'native' linux client, provided by CCP. However, as the cedega engine updated to the latest, I started seeing alot of graphical bugs, after about 10 minutes of ingame activity, or non-activity.

The ship at first turns almost fully black (I take ...

Trying out Half Life 2 on the new machine, I can get STEAM to start up, and go as far as starting the game, but once the little dialogue with "launching <game>" disappears, nothing happens.

1. Specifics depend on the filesystem in use - first resize the filesystem, then resize the partition in fdisk. You may have to boot from a livecd to perform the filesystem resize.

2. I don't believe so, as it will pretty much think it's the first one anyway (it won't recognize the linux ones). If ...

I have recently developed a need to install Windows XP on top of my Gentoo install (basically a 20gb windows partition is needed) for school-based stuff
