[gentoo-user] SiI 3112A + Seagate HDs = still no go?

[gentoo-user] Turning OFF font-hinting globally?

Hi all, Call me a heretic, but I want to turn OFF font hinting globally in X, most particularly I'd like it off in GDM. I've turned it off in my own Gnome prefs, but tht obviously doesn't touch GDM. As an added bonus, can I change the fonts GDM uses? Thanks, Chris -- Ch

t will get overwritten at every sync. The proper place to put your overrides is in /etc/portage/profile, which took me a good while to figure out... Indeed it is rather nice :-) HTH, Chris -- Chris Boot [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bootc.net/ smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature

Re: [gentoo-user] daemon monitoring programs

7;ve tried. I use it on my server which has surprisingly few problems, but has saved my a$$ too many times to count.

Re: [gentoo-user] SMP/HT & top

u have to be using an SMP kernel for your extra CPUs to be used at all, let alone seen by top... 2) If not top then what else? 3) Should a HT system show multiple processors? Yes, same as the above.

[gentoo-user] GDB can't recognise core files?

, file clearly states this is a core file, which I fully expect it to be: arcadia ~ # file core core: ELF 32-bit LSB core file Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), SVR4- style, SVR4-style, from 'php' What the heck is happening?

Re: [gentoo-user] grub on a SATA drive

libata through the SCSI layer. So I'm at a loss. The grub commands went alright. Wouldn't I get an error if one of the commands was wrong? Don't know what's meant by "unknown block (0,0)". Is it saying it's trying to mount / on /dev/sda1? Doesn't make sense

Re: [gentoo-user] (WAS OT - Port named runs on)

you are doing. I cannot emphasize this enough, since if your DNS server is not running properly you can become the target of various attacks and/or the domain(s) you are servicing may start failing. DNS isn't trivial. HTH, Chris -- Chris Boot [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
