I did try unpacking the MesaLibs distfile, patching & repacking, but of course Portage objected that the file size was incorrect ! I've looked at the Mesa ebuild, but have no idea how to hack it nor am I confident of applying the patch during a suspended emerge. I could try the 2nd, but could you fill out a few more details of the 1st, which I will note for future occasions ? This certainly looks like the solution to the DRI problem. Meanwhile, what I believed to be a small irritant is proving a show-stopper. Leaving aside DRI, the display from the new machine spills off the screen: it's way off to the left (eg Gkrellm is invisible on the KDE desktop) & loses about half the KDE panel when placed at top/bottom/right-side; mouse-X starts left of centre & the fonts & icons are badly oversized. KDE Control Centre tells me the display is 1680x1050 @ 60 Hz (as it sb). Elsewhere, it does appear the screen's physical size ( 430 x 270 mm ) is being recognised, tho' perhaps it's not being applied correctly. I believed the problem was due to faulty thro'put by my KVM switch, but plugging the monitor directly into the new machine make no difference. I don't see any obvious solution in the monitor manual (Samsung 206BW). The current machine using an Nvidia card & direct monitor plug-in produces none of these defects, suggesting the cause is the G33 chip. I'm not keen to buy another Nvidia card, if I can avoid it ... Any advice here too wb very welcome. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : purslow@chass.utoronto.ca ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
