I am indeed using kernel built-in driver, not portage's. Try once and see... _________________ Gentoo addict: tomorrow I quit, I promise!... Just one more emerge...

I did an Xserver/gnome update, and now I can't seem to get into 1920x1200 resolution. I started a thread here:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-546634.html
If anybody has ideas or encounters the same thing. Probably pilot error, but it seems correct based on my (flawed) memory.

I suppose you meant Windows Vista? Did you get the error message about your sound device under Gentoo or under Windows? Since you didn't post any other relevant information, we can help you about the former but not the latter: this is a forum about Gentoo Linux, not about Windows. _________________ Gentoo addict: tomorrow I quit, I promise!...

I don't know since when it doesn't work but now my laptop doesn't create a /dev/sd? node when I plug the card in the reader. I see messages about mmcblk0 in the log like this:

Usually there is another message that immediately follows, which says something like "waiting 5s for the device to come up" but here nothing such happens. I've recompiled udev (079-r2). But it used to work with that version of UDEV... Am I the only one or is it a side-effect of GCC4.1?
EDIT: I'm running gentoo-sources-2.6.17-r8... | Grrrrrrrrrr this had been bugging me for at least 5 months (be it with the sd reader or my external usb hd.........).
I've seen many posts in the forum outlining exactly that one problem
It turns out it's a cosmetic patch the gentoo hal maintainer is applying......
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=146910
Comment the line "epatch "${FILESDIR}"/${PN}-0.5.7-ignored-volumes.patch" in the hal ebuild and you'll be fine |

@dob:
Wow, this was a long time ago. Now I'm using 2.6.19 series... I think the problem comes from KDE (but I might be wrong). Currently the SD card reader is indeed detected and a device node, /dev/mmcblk0p1, created. It's just that I have to mount it manually because - for one reason or another - KDE doesn't do it for me. I've stopped searching for what makes it not work anymore - sick of searching given the (very low) number of times I need to use it . To use different words, it's not one of my main goals for now. _________________ Gentoo addict: tomorrow I quit, I promise!... Just one more emerge...

Battery? Not the best they made... I don't know what kind of battery I have but it lost about half of its initial capacity. Now I have about 30-45 minutes autonomy. I could never have more than one 1:30h autonomy ( ) with the strongest battery available at that time - my laptop was ordered with the stronger battery at first, not with the standard one.

Posted: Fri Jun 15, 2007 10:08 pm Post subject: incompatible vido controller |
|
|
Hello, I have a problem. I have an inspiron 9400 that I bought as faulty. It showed a screen full of characters that look like the spade symbol on a pack of playing cards. During a diagnostic check it failed when checking the video card and reported the fault as " incompatible vido controller ".
I decided that I would buy a new ATI x1400 128MB direct replacement for the faulty card and fitted it.
I installed a fresh copy of windows media centre 2005 and all was well. It rebooted many times with no issues and I thought all was well. This is the wierd bit.....
The next day I booted the laptop and the screen stayed blank. I tried to enter the bios at post but could not. Again I entered the diagnostic checks and it reported the same fault as before.
Has anyone got any idea what is happening here? |

@inspiron E1705
I suppose you're desperately looking for a solution for the problem you mentioned since you subscribed to this forum? This forum provides help on a certain flavor of Linux, Gentoo Linux. The thread you are posting in deals with specific issues that we might have installing Gentoo Linux on a Dell Inspiron 9400.
I'm affraid the solution to the problem you described cannot be given here. As per my own experience with Dell and Laptops, the least you could do is return the laptop to Dell and possibly exchange it. You have enough reasons to call for Dell's support. Use their 1-year collect and return waranty, if that's the one you have applied for. _________________ Gentoo addict: tomorrow I quit, I promise!... Just one more emerge...

Well, it does work for me at least since 2.6.18 or 2.6.19, IIRC. _________________ Gentoo addict: tomorrow I quit, I promise!... Just one more emerge...
