I don't know. I've pretty much become a fan of stock gentoo-sources now. Most of the good desktop stuff that used to need -mm's kernel is in mainstream now.

I'm currently playing around with something similar,
Heres a couple of thoughts:

I'm using openvz (although vserver is another option*) to provide the chrooting (I view containers as a heavyweight chroot rather than lightweight virtualisation). Xen could also be an option, although at a slight ...

The 29 build was broken - someone checked his development code in (hence the TODO). Use the 22 build instead.

the answer to this for n00bs like myself is to run python-updater , if that doesnt work run USE="python" emerge libxml2

i havent ran the 2nd command and dont know if it works sine python-updater fixed my problem, but i got it from an op in one of the gentoo rooms =P hope this helps whoever runs ...

It is? for what systems? (its working fine here...)

oh, it does. Although Since my box does more ripping than playing I don't know whether it works under mplayer/xine - certainly works ok on windows though, so its quite possible.

J3rm: Where did you find the template? I've had a butchers through the mirrors and cant seem to place it...

AFAIK there isn't an AAC or MP4 Plugin for xmms in portage.

I have an ebuild for an aac plugin in bugzilla, but it won't play mp4 or m4a files.

The author of the above plugin has written an mp4 plugin, but i'm having trouble creating a ...

[EDIT:]
I was mistaken.
Although the IUSE of fluxbox is only nls, it inherits kda and gnome from commonbox... This might explain why it didin;t admit to this when querired (a bug in portage?)

Some possibilities:

hmmm. had you previous installed any masked packages? I'm thinking gtk/gtk+/gtk2 as if you had then emerge -u world will have downgraded them (use -Uu to stop that)

Is it only xmms and zinf that have problems? and are they your only audio programs - if they are, it could be ...

Ok, its my first serious (i.e. not minor version change) attempt at an ebuild, which was inspired by my ipod now accepting aac files....

Comments are most certainly welcome.

ok,
(1) have you tried insmodding radeon?
(2) try recompiling the kernel with agpart compilied into the kernel
(3) nls-iso-1559-1 is a codepage. for some reason the kernels don't always default to building any codepage at all, although (apart from it complaining at the start) I haven't seen any ill ...

what modules are loaded when you boot into each of the different kernels? (i.e. whats the results of lsmod under each one?)
And what kernel are you runnning?

Gah. This is crazy.

Ok, I've determined that it wasn't the cd being scratched - The time i got it to work i was actually installing of the HD (i'd forgotten). I've tried it with a friends cd and I get exactly the same problem :(

Having got it installed via the HD, i've been unable to get it to ...

Also no in a fundamental difference of ethos. There isn't anything like a version of portage for windows (afaik), and likely won't be, simply because the vast majority of windows programs (and more importantly, the programs that people use ) are closed-source. As internet distribution continues to ...

/me slaps forehead Doh!

the cd was scratched. I didn't suspect it since it had recently installed under windows, and was still working for running it under windows.

Now it installs ok. Doesn't do anything when I run wine3x War3.exe mind you, but thats another problem that will have to wait a ...

Addendum:
Ok, I've rebuilt her system (now on ext3) using gaming-sources-r3, and I get exactly the same problem. Any thoughts anyone?

[EDIT:]
have now also tried it using development-sources, and using cxoffice (I know its not designed for that, but I thought it was worth a go). and it always gives ...

Aye acoustic padding is the way to go. You can get a practically silent HD by buying one of the quiet ones and you can get (i forget from where, possibly acasa) what is effectively a 5.25 mount for a 3.5 drive that surrounds it with foam padding - it really cuts out the high frequencys, (read whines ...

On the machine (its not actually mine - its my g/f's, but thats another story)
its running gentoo-sources (r1 iirc) and its using the official transgaming binaries. The point may well be moot as I am currently having to rebuild her system after an extremly nasty spot of reiser corruption...

I can't speak as an authority on PCI, but assuming they are even vaguely like the AGP versions in terms of relative perfocmance, take the ATI - the gf4mx is bad, really bad. (and the 9000 is quite o/c-able if you want that extra performance)

actually, (in this context) DRM is appropriate - its Direct Rendering Modules (hence for DRI, you emerge xfree-drm rather than xfree-dri...)

If you have the time, I suggest you emerge a couple of them and have a play (emerge -C is always handy at this point ;) )

Personally, I like galeon - its as fast as firebird, seems more stable (no crashes yet, and i'm running the masked version!) and does tabs in a way I like. (TIP: if you want to ...

if you want to run a version not in portage, emerge it using --onlydeps first - that will make sure you have the latest versions of its dependancys, then install it by hand (or better yet, roll your own ebuild!)

Try using a minimal CFLAGS in your make.conf (something like
CFLAGS="-mcpu=<your cpu type here> -pipe"

also, when you do emerge -p planshift, does it claim to have a version installed?

Further to previous points, depending on what you wish to do, you may want to consider sticking to standard wine rather than the delights of the various flavours of winex - I find wine to be much better for games that support openGL (wc3 yay), but since you can have both installed I would (unless ...
