lly resume dd w/ skip & seek options, but that'd be very tedious; ddrescue makes it much nicer. I was able recover essentially all the data off my most recent dying drive w/ "ddrescue -vdD /dev/disk/by-label/usb_videos1 usb_videos1.ddrescue usb_videos1.ddrescue.log" Good luck, Conway S.

Re: [gentoo-user] unmask what ?

atom & a list of keywords to accept for that package atom. To unmask packages masked by package.mask, you only need to add the package atom to /etc/portage/package.unmask. But in this specific case it's actually not a masking issue, it's a missing package issue as discussed in the other sub-thread. Arguably Portage should either not give the "All ebuilds have been masked" error, or should say something like "(masked by: no matching ebuilds)". Hope you get it working, Conway S.

Re: [gentoo-user] Is an Intel motherboard RAID better or worse than software RAID?

does MD RAID except for RAID1, so write caching is dangerous except for filesystems directly on disk partitions or on RAID1 (if the RAID1 is directly on disk partitions). I personally decided against using LVM because from what I read it's difficult to correctly stripe-align LVM, and incorrect a

so I don't use it myself; other than one really nifty uvesafb has. It probes the video card & attached display to determine supported modes, and provides that list in /sys/devices/platform/uvesafb.0/vbe_modes. So I'll use uvesafb to get that list, and choose a resolution I want fr

Another option to look for in xorg.conf is "HandleSpecialKeys". Also check your Xorg.log files (maybe after increasing logging verbosity) for anything relevant, like XKEYBOARD extension errors.
