1 Hello
2 I posted this in gentoo-user, but got no answer, so i repost it here if it can be useful.. Tell me if i should have not.
3 Thanks in advance

6 Hello
7 I installed gentoo linux a few days ago, i don't know if it's the right
8 list to post this report, but we'll see. ;)
9
10
11 The install runned fine.
12 For Information, I'm using a Asus A7V266-E mainboard (KT266A chipset)
13 with fr keyboard.
14
15 Here's what I noted :
16
17 KDM
18 kdm shows users like root, www & co, but not the normal user. I guess
19 there is an inversion somewhere
20
21 XSANE
22 latest xsane is 0.84. latest in gentoo is 0.77, quite old. Is there a
23 particular reason for keeping an old version?
24
25 BASESYSTEM
26 basesystem wants me to install isapnptools, but i haven't used a isa
27 cards for year! i don't even have an isa slot! i think hotplug would be
28 a much better thing to have in core system than isapnptools.. how to
29 tell emerge i don't want it with update (without having to do it at each
30 emerge rsync) ?

32 GKRELLMMS
33 emerge gkrellmms fails with this message :

56 EURO SIGN
57 Can't have it in kde (even with iso8859-15 character set selected), and
58 don't have it everywhere in gnome apps. For example in evolution, i have
59 it in to, cc, and subject fields, but not in the message window. I guess
60 i'm missing something somewhere.. but.. where? :)
61
62 LANGUAGE
63 Is there any way to have non-english language in other apps than kde
64 itself?
65
66 REALPLAYER
67 There are some realplayer 9 (aka RealOne) beta floating around real.com
68 site, and it works well.
69
70 EBUILDS
71 How do we find the list (and description?) of packages that can be
72 installed? I'm talking of something equivalent to rpmdrake for example
73
74 RPM
75 rpm is present so i guess it's supported.. but why using rpm 3.0.6 as
76 4.0.3 is the latest version?
77
78 ALSA & OSS EMULATION
79 I have a SB Live! card (emu10k1) and alsa. When using oss application i
80 have noise at the start of the play, for about one second, then it plays
81 fine.. But it's really annoying since i have that at each song change in
82 xmms. I tried aalsa plugin, but the sound is strange (stretched or
83 something..) So if anyone has an idea.. (my on-board sound chips are
84 disabled in the bios)
85
86 EVOLUTION & SPELLCHECKING
87 I guess i need aspell (or other?) and aspell-fr for spellchecking in
88 french, but there's only de..

112 Is there any other package that gives themes for gnome apps?
113
114
115 OF : DIVX
116 Divx 5.0 is out, do someone has info of support for it in linux apps?
