Cool, that's much better . I didn't like my nasty hack even though it worked.

Despite the modules being blacklisted they were loaded anyway. I've created a /etc/local.d/tevii_s464.start

/sbin/modprobe -r cx8800 cx8802 cx88xx btcx_risc videobuf_dma_sg videobuf_core tveeprom

/sbin/modprobe cx88xx card=86
/sbin/modprobe cx8800
/sbin/modprobe cx8802

Not ideal but it works ...

I've just got a new DVB card (Tevii S464). At boot it auto-loads a bunch of modules:
$ modprobe --show-depends cx8802
insmod /lib/modules/3.10.17-gentoo/kernel/drivers/media/v4l2-core/videobuf-core.ko
insmod /lib/modules/3.10.17-gentoo/kernel/drivers/media/v4l2-core/videobuf-dma-sg.ko
insmod /lib ...

ok my own stupid fault. I added some mirrors and all were found...

I'm doing a general system update for all my gentoo boxes. I don't update particularly often,but I'm stuck with some failed to fetch errors

You have a lot of ram, one thing I would really suggest doing is making your portage tmp directory a tmpfs so all your temporary compile time file are being compiling in ram. I've personally found it to be slightly faster than a recompile on ccache.
I totally agree having /var/tmp/portage mounted ...

Think I've fixed it:

found a posting in other forums which recommended then edited the keymap in there to gb and it seems to work

I've just bought a USB KVM switch, whenever I switch then switch back the keyboard layout changes to us from gb it's really annoying.

Any ideas how I can stop this happening?

edit: Forgot to say - keyboard layout only changes in KDE (4.3) the console remains mapped as gb. I have set the keyboard ...

Hi I'm looking to try my hand at writing some greasemonkey scripts so I figured the DOM inspector would be handy in firefox.

So added mozdevelop to my USE and tried to re-merge firefox and I get this: checking for "std::" namespace... yes

Speakers aren't muted. I want to add "snd-hda-intel model=eapd" but I don't have alsa-base in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.
When I added to /etc/conf.d/modules lines:
modules_2_6="snd-hda-intel"
module_snd-hda-intel_args_2_6="model=eapd" I got an error something like"no command found".
Where I have ...

HD Audio often needs a model option passed to it based on the codec see /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Models.txt to see what the model should be.

ALSA can create a dummy device. I've not tried it but in menuconfig there is one available: Symbol: SND_DUMMY [=n]
│ Prompt: Dummy (/dev/null) soundcard
│ Defined at sound/drivers/Kconfig:64
│ Depends on: SOUND && !M68K && SND && SND_DRIVERS
│ Location:
│ -> Device Drivers

Does change anything?

This sounds like it's caused by overscan have you checked out the docs? file:///usr/share/doc/nvidia-drivers-180.60/html/chapter-16.html

The model I use is "6stack-dig"

Ubuntu have an excellent guide for this driver: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto

For snd-hda-intel there are often problems from incorrect or non-existant options snd-hda-intel model="XYZ" in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf

Instructions on how to set this in a section of a guide would be usefull.

Why would you even specify the model, shouldn't the module just auto-detect it? Yes ...

OK I understand now I think. It's just a warning that the syntax/options changed. Not a notice to stop using the file(s) for configuration.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, or point to somewhere where it's stated other than that message.

toralf: I'm a little confused about what you are implying by your post.

If it helps I'm on alsa-lib-1.0.14a-r1 and kernel 2.6.23-gentoo-r3.

I currently use a script to set surround levels on my mythbox as the 'Master' only affects stereo. I was wondering if it's possible to join the volume controls using asound.conf.

Lircd executes the script when the volume is changed, the applications (mythtv/xine) affect Master.

my script is: cat ...

The manifest works on all files in the directory and sub-directories. Try syncing again first
