Yup, its usb, on this computer. Yup, that was how I set it up to start with. And ive gone throught again and checked that everything is still correct acording to the guide, and it is.

Hi. My HP Deskjet 5740 was working fine last time I used it. However now it refuses to print.

Cups gives the error "Unable to send print file to printer: Invalid argument". Turning debug logging doesnt give much more info. Only major system changes since the last use are upgrade to 2.6.14 kernel ...

Quite strange. Its working fine for me gentoo-2.6.14-r5 kernel, 8178 drivers, fancy framebuffer, Xorg 7.0 (worked on 6.8.99 too).

Have you tried the run package from the nvidia site aswell as the ebuild (both work for me). Framebuffer wise, as long as your using the vesa buffer and NOT the nvidia ...

For the interest of those thinking about trying modular X. I emerged it the other day before I saw that there were handy guides and stuff. It was really very straight forward for me personally. I just emerged it, then emerged the driver modules i needed et voila! A lot of it I'm sure is down to ...

- Yes. Ever since the upgrade my GTK fonts are too large, even using the DisplaySize parameter. Currently I use the gnome-font-properties utility to shrink them on every boot. However, the major annoyance is that my AngleOffset parameter doesn't work. Anyone have any ideas?

hmmm, in the 2.85 ebuild mplayer32-bin is already in as the dependancy. I also have a 64 bit mplayer compiled, which I use for a lot of stuff like x264 encoding, which mplayer-bin doesn't do.

Thanks for the suggestions though.

Voyageur wrote:Hum... which firefox do you use? It looks like you are running a 64bit one, which can explain why it does not see the 32bit mplayerplug-in32

Indeed, its 1.0.6 build in a 64 bit environment. Does that mean I would need firefox-bin for mplayerplug-in32?

I'm getting a strange error with mplayerplug-in32. On starting firefox (from a console) i get the message

Hey. I'm using bi3l's ebuild for x264 and his mplayer ebuild. First of all a big thanks, they work great. Mencoder works with it no probs and play back is no problem for mplayer even in an mkv. Encoding is damn slow though. I'm talking about 6fps first pass (mencoder stream.dump -ovc x264 -nosound ...

Get a new controller. I had this problem with a Seagate on an Sil3112 controller. The drive is now on an nvidia sata controller and works great!

Hey, as soon as X starts up, the fan on my Leadtek 7800GTX hits full. It's not under any load or getting too hot (nvidia-settings reads 38 degrees). Anyone know if i can adjust this somehow, as its damn annoying!

Yeah its the page encoding. It's only started for me since i converted my system to utf-8. I think it happens when the browser views a page that is written in a different encoding that uses slightly different characters fo different values, or something like that.

Thanks for helping out. I notice that the Syba(Sillicon Image 3112 chipset) is listed as supporting Linux on the newegg website, so i suppose it should be safe to go with that.

Only if you don't have a seagate drive. Some of these drives are black listed to reduce performance to stop data ...

Find the extension "Tab Mix" I always used tab browser extensions. But they do mess up firefox. So someone recommended tab mix to me. It has all the features I used in the tab browser extensions, but it is very stable and very fast.

Read the tips and tricks form. Theres a post where a guy has made an overclocking program for ati cards. Works great on my radeon 9000. Got a good increase in fps in UT2003.

Got a stable OC of 270/230. a little higher gave me corruption in UT2003. Definate increase in FPS.

Brilliant program mate.

Sweet dude.

I can confirm its working on my Saphire Radeon 9000

Default: Core: 249.75 MHz, Mem: 200.25 MHz

glxgears: 9059 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1811.800 FPS

I get them quite often. I think more often if the disk is doing multiple operations, such as reading and writing. I've also had the another type of error that occasionally occurs during very heavy writing, that causes the disk to pause for about a minute. As far as I can tell I'm not suffering any ...

i think you misunderstood what I meant by upgrading my motherboard. At the moment my motherboard does not have onboard SATA, its only PATA IDE. So to run the SATA drive i am using a very cheap pci SATA controller which uses the Sil3112 chipset. This chipset is know to have problems with seagate ...

What controller are you using? Because anything using the Sil3112 chipset is bad news!

I contacted Seagate support and they got me to run the tool. It checked out ok, so i guess its just the controller. I will be upgrading my motherboard in a couple of months, so it will do until then.

Device: /dev/sda, opened
Device /dev/sda, SATA disks accessed via libata are not currently supported by
smartmontools. When libata is given an ATA pass-thru ioctl() then an
additional '-d libata' device type will be added to smartmontools.


Doesnt look like thats going to work :( I think i'll ...

Powersupply is fine, 485W enermax thats about a month old and is only powering a 2400XP+, 1Gig ram Radeon 9000, 2xHD 2xOptical harddrives. Do you recon its a faulty harddrive then?

Hey all. I got a new Seagate SATA 2000.7 200GB harddrive the other day. Its on an Sli 3112 controller at the moment (so performance sucks) the errata fix comes on ok, but I'm still getting some errors.

You cant compile fglrx into the kernel, because its 3rd party.

Also you DONT want DRM/DRI.

You DO want agpgart (under character devices) along with your chipset below it. This is the chipset on your motherboard.
