I did try unpacking the MesaLibs distfile, patching & repacking, |
| 16 |
but of course Portage objected that the file size was incorrect ! |
| 17 |
I've looked at the Mesa ebuild, but have no idea how to hack it |
| 18 |
nor am I confident of applying the patch during a suspended emerge. |
| 19 |
I could try the 2nd, but could you fill out a few more details of the 1st, |
| 20 |
which I will note for future occasions ? |
| 21 |
This certainly looks like the solution to the DRI problem. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Meanwhile, what I believed to be a small irritant is proving a show-stopper. |
| 24 |
Leaving aside DRI, the display from the new machine spills off the screen: |
| 25 |
it's way off to the left (eg Gkrellm is invisible on the KDE desktop) |
| 26 |
& loses about half the KDE panel when placed at top/bottom/right-side; |
| 27 |
mouse-X starts left of centre & the fonts & icons are badly oversized. |
| 28 |
KDE Control Centre tells me the display is 1680x1050 @ 60 Hz (as it sb). |
| 29 |
Elsewhere, it does appear the screen's physical size ( 430 x 270 mm ) |
| 30 |
is being recognised, tho' perhaps it's not being applied correctly. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
I believed the problem was due to faulty thro'put by my KVM switch, |
| 33 |
but plugging the monitor directly into the new machine make no difference. |
| 34 |
I don't see any obvious solution in the monitor manual (Samsung 206BW). |
| 35 |
The current machine using an Nvidia card & direct monitor plug-in |
| 36 |
produces none of these defects, suggesting the cause is the G33 chip. |
| 37 |
I'm not keen to buy another Nvidia card, if I can avoid it ... |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Any advice here too wb very welcome. |
