[gentoo-dev] medusa-init / pcmcia / X11

[Christian Loitsch]

After installing gnome, I have the file:
/tmp/medusa-init
What's its purpose?  May I delete it?

I compiled the pcmcia drivers into the kernel.  But I also had to change
/etc/init.d/pcmcia not to check for the modules any longer.  Should I
report this as a bug?

In connection with the init.d scripts.  E.g. gpm has the tendency to die
without removing its pidfile.  If the /etc/init.d/gpm tries to start, it
detects the lockfile and gives up.  After that the only way to bring gpm
up is to delete the lockfile (by hand) and also! remove
/mnt/.init.d/started, because gpm stop won't remove itself from /mnt...
because it failed killing the gpm-daemon but gmp start fails because
there is a /mnt/... file.

If you know where to search for, it's not a big deal, but I guess the
scripts should remove wrong pidfiles and also remove itself from started
even if the daemon does not exist.

Last question: is there a way to tell X11 to report using syslogd?
If yes, shouldn't this be the default?

Yep, and yep.  Do not work for some reason though.

Yes,  but it is being addressed regardless :)

Kind regards,
