Absolutely gorgeous - seemed to work like a charm.
And sorry about the thread. I searched google up and down and just couldn't imagine that there would be as stupid as me and do the very same thing in such a short period that google wouldn't have it in its cache.

Last sunday I have installed livestreamer for twtich.tv. Apparently I screwed up something, because every python script in /usr/bin has been replaced with the livestreamer startup script.

Annoying.

Which means that whenever I tried to "emerge" or "ebuild" something, it would just give me the error ...

Yup, works like a charm ... so far, I guess.
Thank you very much for the quick suggestion.

I need to write a DLL for Wndows, and since I don't plan to do that on Windows (because the build environment is crap), I decided to use mingw32.
I used this document that describes what to do in which order. The commands that I issued are:


emerge --ask sys-devel/crossdev
USE=-sanitize crossdev ...

Well?

This problem is actually solved, but just for me. I guess there will be others with the same problem before long.

I wanted to update my box:


# emerge --ask --update --deep --with-bdeps=y --newuse @world


=>


* IMPORTANT: 7 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
* Use eselect news ...

OK, I just tossed all recommendations that you guys suggested away, because ... seriously? Just to enable VDPAU? Gotta be kidding me.
Also, with the latest update, they seemed to have fixed the initial problem. 1.3.0 is now supported for my box:


# vainfo
libva info: VA-API version 0.35.1
libva ...

About the current rc kernel - I may try it when it enters the portage tree as I do not wish to fiddle with raw kernels.

Yeah, because that's, like, so deadly to your machine, not to mention for your OS ... oh wait, that's not true. ;)
/usr/src/linux-x.yz-abc and /lib/modules/linux-x.yz-abc and ...

# dmesg
...

[10177.327565] usb 4-3: Set SEL for device-initiated U2 failed.



This behavior occurs in other distros like the latest Fedora and Lubuntu so I presume its kernel related bug. Also tested a bunch of custom kernels up to 3.15.2 - now I am at genkernel-next.
Any help is greatly ...

OK, that's it. I am quiting this bullshit. I have added all these keywords:


x11-libs/libva-intel-driver-1.3.0 ~amd64
=x11-libs/libdrm-2.4.54 ~amd64
=x11-libs/libva-1.3.1 ~amd64
=dev-libs/libpthread-stubs-0.3-r1 ~amd64
=x11-libs/libXext-1.3.2 ~amd64
=x11-libs/libXfixes-5.0.1 ~amd64
=x11-libs ...

I wouldn't know how to include them in the kernel.


That one is easy. Make sure that CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR is set properly (that is, the directory of the files you want to include), and then just set CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE to all files that you want to have in your kernel, space-separated ...

What about updates? I don't think portage will be smart enough that once in a while I want to update my system, will it?

I use 32bit stuff pretty much for wine only - for how little I use wine.

Not as much screwed up, as directly contradicted yourself. It's almost the same as if you set all your useflags in make.conf. Not that the big hammer won't work.

Maybe you got me wrong - when I say "bloat", I mean "stuff ...

I use 32 bit applications for other stuff as well, not only zsnes - that one just caused the problems.

So you're suggesting removing the flag and try it again or what?

But if you want to have it your own way, just keep adding those packages emerge asks for, till the run completes successfully. It ...

In this this context, it's about someone trying to parkour while barely being able to crawl.

So I did something wrong? Or is this just another example of my "excellent english skills"?


While it often happens, that devs fail to bump requirements for the packages in their ebuilds and simply ...

What does FTS mean? Sorry for asking, but with gentoo in addition it just occurs on google while mentioning "zeitgeist".


$ emerge -1pv =x11-libs/libva-intel-driver-1.3.0

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

Calculating dependencies... done!

The following keyword changes are ...

I don't know what you are expecting ... but:


<prompt> pkg-config --atleast-version=2.4.45 libdrm; echo $
$
<prompt>


BTW:


$ pkg-config --atleast-version=2.4.45 libdrm; echo $?
0


I guess that's rather what you meant, right?

Here you go: http://pastebin.com/uvqnhvRp

I am just pulling ...

I just have what is necessary. Everything that I do not need is excluded - I am against bloat in all forms.

[1] contains an xorg.conf which has those monitor sections: http://bpaste.net/show/99096/

And your Xorg is deleting the nVidia card, I guess because you did not specify on which monitor the screen should be displayed.

OK ... you are missing two monitor sections and the assignments in the screens:


Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "Monitor Model"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor1"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "Monitor Model"
EndSection ...

Du hast das Problem nicht beschrieben, aber lass mich mal raten: schwarzer Bildschirm?
Soweit bin ich hier auch schon gekommen ... :)

You did not describe the problem ... but lemme guess: Your screen's black?
Because that's as far as I got as well. :)

Wait ... didn't you say it got [worse] after you symlinked the DRI library for Xorg?
Because I thought that you expected 60 FPS, not 55 FPS. glxgears often runs with V-Sync enabled, so you cannot really use it for benchmarks. 55 FPS indeed would be slow on V-Sync:


311 frames in 5.0 seconds = 61 ...

But I best begin from the beginning.

I noticed that watching a video on YouTube in HD takes one processor core to render. Wondering what was going wrong here, I googled and tested the program vainfo:


libva: VA-API version 0.32.0
libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva: Trying to open /usr ...

Is x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel still installed?

I got some missing. Only the first two give me a result.

I as well.

emerge --search prime did not show anything that seamed relevant. Do you know what I need to install to get those? Or is it a kernel setting?

Those are kernel symbols.
I took a quick look, these symbols seem to be in ...
