kernel produces unresolved symbols
Normally i go through the following steps to build my own kernel: make menuconfig .. make dep bzImage && make modules && make modules_install After the compiliation process, i copy my kernel into /boot and reboot. Last time i get some unresolved symbols after a depmod: depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.19/kernel/drivers/char/drm/gamma.o depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.19/kernel/net/ipsec/ipsec.o depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.19/kernel/net/irda/irda.o This kernel is made by: make menuconfig .. make-kpkg kernel_image make_kpkg modules_image I read that a good kernel is made by: make dep make bzImage etc. I would ask, what im doing wrong in these steps? Is something wrong with my debian way of kernel compilation? Thanks for any ideas... Greetings, Roman -- www: http://www.romanofski.de email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Try to choose another font in the gnome preferences. The newer mozilla builds
use gtk1.2 and therefore, you should change your system font in the
gnome-control-center (gnomecc).
If you don't have access to gnomecc, try to create a ~/.gtkrc in you homefolder
and put something in as following:
style "user-font"
{
fontset="-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"

I would suggest, that you should use a stable kernel, not the development
version. Maybe some device drivers are broken. It looks like you use bleeding
edge software, which is the very unstable ...

I can't minimize the mplayer window, because the image won't go away. There is allready an "screenshot". Its maybe a bug in the XV Extension or in the ATI Driver. Don't know. I using the experimental XFree86 4.2.X debian packages + the latest DRI snapshot. Hardware Acceleration works very well, but this is the only problem i have. I looked at the gatos page, but don't know if the drivers will fix this problem. Anyone have an idea what drivers should be used? And if i've to use the gatos one, which Driver should i enable in XFree86Config? Should i leave it to "ati" or is it "ati2" ? Thanks for any comments..

DRI with ATI Radeon 7500 and XFree 4.2.1 not more working?
I don't know why, but i can't start my X anymore after i upgraded to a newer XFree 4.2 version. I downloaded a new dri build, installed it, and after initialisation X startup fails. I tried it with the older gatos ati.2 drivers and drm. After struggling around, it works a little bit, but glxinfo tells me : Radeon DRI driver: Compatibility mode for DRM driver version 1.2.0 TCL will be disabled, expect reduced performance (prefer DRM radeon.o 1.3.x or newer) disabling TCL support display: :0 screen: 0 direct rendering: Yes I don't know whats wrong. What should i use? I used before the GATOS drivers, the dri builds and it works near perfect. After i tried the GATOS one, i can't use the dri builds anymore. I tried to erase all drm builds from GATOS in /lib/2.4.19/. but i can't bring XFree up to work. If someone has the same problems, please give me a sign. Maybe its a little bug in the newer XFree builds, so i will contact the package maintainer. I attach the XFree log file, maybe there is a hint in it. Thanks for ideas!

Re: help!! my partition table is lost after a next reboot ...
Firstly - thanks for the help. Secondly i fixed it with a bit luck. I found a printout from my partition table so i removed all the rescued, but wrong partitions and created all partitions myself. It worked fine with one exception: i created my boot partition with: mkpartfs logical ext2 XXX - so parted created a new filesystem and erased the data. Okey.. installed the kernel, grub and thats it. parted and gpart rescued only my primary partitions. I had few logical partitions so this partitions wasn't rescued by gpart or parted. If someone had the same bad luck, i'll recommend to do this: 1. print out your partition table or rescue it, like Kevin said: fdisk -ul /dev/hda >part.table 2. remove all the partitions 3. create a new partition table without any filessystem (parted: mkpart). parted catched my filessystems than. I read, that this should work also after a reboot. So, thats it. Thanks, Roman -- www: http://www.romanofski.de email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

I don't know if this helps, but maybe some configfiles are deprecated, which cause this fonts. 1. Look at your /etc/X11/XftConfig. Thats the global config file, which handles the fontpaths for gtk2 and kde. 2. Do you have a ~/.xftconfig in your home? Maybe edit it or erase it. 3. GTK1 applications are defined through ~/.gtkrc configuration file or "gnomecc". GTK2 has gnome-control-center or kde has kcontrol (or maybe newer.. don't know - i don't use kde). 4. GTK1 applications use the X Fonts. These fonts are available through your X session. Maybe you should check your entries in your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. 5. For example: the mozilla builds from mozilla.org are gtk1 applications. You've define the fonts through gnomecc (gnome control center) or by editing your home gtkrc. Maybe this helps you out.

plugger+mplayer+quicktime
Maybe not a debian specific problem, but i hope some debian users out there have configured her mozilla to work with plugger. My problem is, that i configured plugger with mplayer "support" and can look quicktime movies fine. I tried the plugger testing grounds and all seems work smoothly. I tried to watch some quicktime movies at apple.com and figured out, that my plugger seems to starting mplayer all the time. I don't know why. The mplayer window appears and disapears and appears and... So it seems, that mplayer want to play the stream and plugger kills the application. Thats my quicktime config: video/quicktime: mov,qt: Quicktime animation video/x-quicktime: mov,qt: Quicktime animation exits repeat ignore_errors maxaspect swallow(MPlayer): mplayer -wid $window "$file" >/dev/null 2>/dev/null If someone has an idea to get mplayer to work with this movies i'd like to know.

3D Acceleration in X not with framebuffer possible?
I tried to boot up with the framebuffer and enabling the direct rendering features for my ATI after recompiling the kernel. If i compile the framebuffer thing into the kernel, boot up with the vga=XXX mode, the framebuffer works great. But my system can't find any agp bridge :( If i don't compile framebuffer into the kernel, i don't have the framebuffer device available, but the system find my agp bridge. What is wrong? Is there a possibility to startup with the framebuffer and always enable the direct rendering?? Allright, i know that the boot-logo thing is a kind of playing around.

emu10k1 - bass become more distorted
Maybe a bit off-topic, but I figured out a problem regarding the bass and treble controlls of my emu10k1 alsa modul. If I unmute the "tone", the bass and treble controllers working correctly. The Problem is, if i increase the bass "volume", the bass become more and more distorted. Is this a problem of the alsa driver or of a missconfiguration. The old "oss" emu10k1 driver, was working correctly. If someone has an idea, write a reply.

I've the same problem for some of my programs, but in most times it works correctly. You can set you pixmap paths in the "wmakerconf" tool or by hand with an editor in $HOME/GNUStep/Defaults/Windowmaker. There are two entrys: Pixmap- and Iconpath.

There are some programs which can build a gif banner, but not in the easy way as fireworks can do. You'll be able to build some nice animations with gimp (theres an animation plugin).

colorscheme for vim in console
I'm looking for a colorscheme for my xterm+vim combination which has not the same contrast as black background and white foreground fonts. I tried some colorschemes, but they only work well with gvim. After googling a bit around, I tried to set my xterm with other colors, but this breaks the colors in other programs (eg. mutt), which is not what I want. Some links pointed me to a self compiled xterm, which I now have and it has 256 color support (dunno why debian xterm doesn't support 256 colors). The tests in the vttest directory are working very well. I tried to add more colors to my .Xdefault file, like: !XTerm*background: DarkSlateGray XTerm*color20: MidnightBlue XTerm*color21: LightGreen and reference them in vim like: hi Normal ctermfg=Black ctermbg=20 guifg=Black guibg=grey20 This isn't working unfortunately and I dunno any further solutions. Maybe it isn't working at all, that I see the same colorscheme in xterm as in gvim. Does somebody know, what I missed or have a nice working xterm+vim and can give me a push in the right direction?
