I was under the impression that xrandr just reflects or rotates the display 90 degrees. I cannot find anywhere in the man pages how to specify "rotate the display 3 degrees" or am I missing something?

I am outputting my X to a TV for use as a MythTV box and I am having some issues with the way it looks. It is rotated a bit off center by a dew degrees and it is bothering the hell out of me. I was wondering if there is a way to rotate the screen at all. nvtv does has the option but it is grayed out ...

Thanks a bundle, fast reply and bamb it worked.

Man I have been out of the PC loop for a LONG time. I havent touched windows in like ages and havent touched this x86 machine in a long time as well. Thanks again. Time to brush up on skills.

I just finally got my gentoo setup working nice and friendly. Granted it is not the best and cleanest setup but it works the way I want, except I need to install windows for some applications I need to run as paert of my game dev classes at school.

Here is my drive setup.

Nice! It is very playful, a lot more playful then a corporate site, which is good in some regards. It is the kind of site I would enjoy going to more frequently. For instance, most blogs are playful looking and you visit them frequently, but ...

Ok, here's another revision with a CSS drop down menu:

I really like it.

As far as rendering glitches, it hates Safari or KHTML. I;m sure you can work out those layout issues no problem ;)

The bright green isn't as clean or ...

A bad example for using Javascript is an expandable menu structure. This would lead to a site where it's not possible anymore to navigate the site if Javascript is disabled.

A good example of a properly failing expandable menu structure, it only uses javascript to help ie6:win thru some of the ...

Whoa! I posted that a year ago! hehe.

You can change specific portage variables for instance FEATURES or USE via /etc/make.conf just taker out sandbox on the features section.

Are you starting loadkeys with an init script? If there is an init script for it you can just
rc-update add loadkeys default and they will start up before X does. X dosen't start until after everything else is loaded with it is in the runlevel, or at least it is second to last so don't worry about ...

Yep correct, changing xdm to gdm in rc.conf will reflect in the xdm scripts.
Read the desktop configuration guide.

OT: Its better then norway...more like snooreway.

Yea, something is wrong with bonobo then. And if remerging it did not help you at all, then I am out of ideas.

Yea, don't even bother with 2.4 really. 2.6 is here and stable and tons easier and better, and more awesomer.. and so much goooooder. It really is.

What happens when you try to mount the device via the command line? What errors do you get? [re: can't even read the cd]

Looks like your running fun old twm. I suggest emerging gdm, and in your /etc/rc.conf file under login manager, change xdm to gdm. Then
rc-update xdm default to get your computer on boot to create a nice X login screen that will make it easier to pick your WM. Also if you don't want to reboot ...

You do not need scsi emulation in a 2.6 kernel, but in a 2.4 kernel you would need scsi emulation and the proper kernel boot parameters. I do not know how cdrecord detects devices but it might be independant of whether or not you can actualy use it

What happens when you try to run "gnome-settings-daemon" from the command line?

Have you installed the nvidia driver? It looks like your Xfree config is still using the generic vga driver. then you will need to modify your XF86Config to have "nvidia" instead of "vga" in the driver section.

What kernel are you running, if you are running a 2.4.* kernel you need to append hdc=ide-scsi replacing hdc with your burners device.

No...! Not the 24 vs 32 bbp thingy again :wink:

Well here is the deal, someone with more insight can propably give you the specifics, but 24bbp in xfree is pretty much the same as 32 bbp in windows. It has something to do with termonology mix-ups and the alpha channels. Correct me if I am wrong ...

Thanks, emerging 1.5.5 now. I have been out of the loop so long that when I looked in /usr/portage/net-mail/evolution and saw only 1.2.x and 1.4.5 i forgot to check on BMG.

You do realise, don't you, that the GPL only applies to distribution of software? If you don't intend to distribute software from your machine, there is simply no issue with the license change regardless of what you understand the new XFree86 license to actually mean.
I still don't have to like it ...

When I fire up a new shell, or login via pty, and even when starting local, I get all of this:

I am having trouble emerging evolution 1.4.5
Here is what I do:

USE="-crypt -doc -kde" emerge evolution

And here is what I get :D :

checking for libgtkhtml-3.0... Package libgtkhtml-3.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libgtkhtml-3.0 ...

Ditto.
