b) distccmon-gui outputs nothing on server system

distccmon-gui only displays what is being done on the system doing the distribution i.e. the client and does not show anything on the server.

Code:

# cat /etc/distcc/hosts
<ip-netbook> <ip-server>

This tells distcc to use the ...

Hi
Have you tried the info at linuxtv http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-NOVA-T-Stick

I have the nova-t 500 dual and it uses the same modules listed on linuxtv
here is a snip of my dmesg

Funtoo would be a sensible step (since its based on binaries and not source).

Not correct Funtoo is a set of stage3 builds for gentoo but uses openrc by default and includes sunrise overly spliced to the normal gentoo overlay its creator is Daniel Robbins - Gentoo's creator.
On his site you will ...

Not sure why you'd need to do the http-replicator
I have never used the NFS set up never considered it, suppose I just liked the look of the local rsync server and http-replicator setup been using it for a while.

What happens with the NFS setup if 2 clients start to download the same package at ...

Hi I got this error too.
Searching google led me here

Silly me. I forgot the patch is only for 4.3 series.

Normally I just battle on with Blocks, @preserved-libs and the usual multiple versions in a single slot but I thought I would just share this one...

I have had the PreInitDAL fault with 1680x1050 lcd panel.

Tried modelnes and disabling DDC and EDID but best I got was a sigfault!

Just for completeness I put the actual stats for the monitor section

Section "Monitor"
HorizSync 30-81
VertRefresh 56-75
Identifier "lcd"
Option "dpms" "true ...

Probably same as me , the newest drivers dont like resolutions of 1680x1050 which my 22" LCD uses.

The problem is documented oin the release notes - known problems !!

Have not seen any work arounds yet except go back to 8.40.4'

There is a lazy way,

If you log out of kde without shutting down Konqueror then it starts up at next login with all the tabs you previously had open

Hi again the first problem is the agp one thats going to stop any driver working.

If you use open source the radeon driver that is the kernel module, xf86-video-ati is the xorg driver and you use the xorg opengl modules #eslect opengl set xorg-x11

If you use ATI binary package fglrx is the ATi ...

Hi the patch is at the bottom of the page here
the patch is applied to the kernel sources - look in the patch to see the files it applies to.

You dont fully describe the faukt - do you just not get dri since you say All I'm able to get to is tvm.
This implies you get X working but not any other ...

Hi I guess its an Nforce3 chipset, you might find a solution here

Hi did you install the ati-drivers-extra package - if you did you could try the ati utilities
and and see what they give you

Hmm just noticed that your M/B is PCIE so I dont know how this works with AGPGART maybe dont use it?
Dont know how it is reported in dmesg since I dont have any systems with PCIE.
Certainly I would expect it to have a PCI ID: rather than an AGP ID:(usually 1:0.0)

Hi again forgot about your AGP thingy! stupid of me cos I've had bother with my new M/B (Asrock AM2NF3-VSTA) and a 4200+ X2.
Graphics is AIW 9800 SE

I have the agpgart built in - I tried it as modules (using info in other threads) but could not get it to work with ATI driver, the upshot is that ...

Hi what does Xorg log say about dri?

Hi I use fglrx with the X700 mobility radeon in my laptop and in the xorg.conf I have thiis line;

Option "mtrr" "off" #disable DRI mtrr mapper, driver has its own code for mtrr

I am sure I also remember reading this in the ati docs somewhere?

OK on my system Xorg -7.0

I notice you're using "ati" driver from xorg and not "radeon"...
Actually does the same job , if you check the log "ati" is loaded and then when card is detected as radeon it loads "radeon". If you use "radeon" it is loaded and then when card is detected it loads "ati" then "radeon"

Hi I can confirm that the code is there in Xorg-7.0 but if you use the ATI closed source drivers for dri then it wont work.

I have 2 systems with xorg-7.0 -

AIW 7200

Both systems work OK for TV in you need to

Then you need Avview from http://gatos ...

Hi again just a thought about kernels, I did have a little trouble with 2.6.16-gentoo on the laptop but it was sorted with 2.6.16-gentoo-r2 - that was with ati-drivers-8.23.7 also I think there might be issues with ati-drivers-8.23.7 and earlier kernels.
Cant say for sure but I went from ati-drivers ...

Just another thought, the drm line - have you installed drm separetly i.e. from r300.sourceforge
