Still the same problem, needing to get the log off the system onto the server |
| 15 |
or into an email without working NFS or rebooting to something with working NFS. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
So, I've booted into SUSE. Logs for 6 failed emerges are in |

I'm chrooted into Gentoo for now to try and fix whatever's broken, and get to |
| 21 |
use legible tty fonts that way in the mean time, e.g. while rebuilding kernel |
| 22 |
with proper tty video selections, and ext4 instead of ext3. |

# emerge nfs-utils |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
produces errors for dev-libs/libevent-2.0.10 twice. |

Never solved the above in Fedora either. It's the same problem here. |

|
| 47 |
Natural resolution is fine in X, because I can force DPI and tweak fonts |
| 48 |
easily. In ttys the only way that ever worked easily was via vga=, which |
| 49 |
doesn't work with KMS. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
> though. Does kernel command line parameter "vga=ask" still work maybe? |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
It does produce a modes list as before, but whatever is selected is ignored |
| 54 |
unless using a video chip that lacks KMS support, like mga or r128. |

I'll look while the kernel is recompiling. |

Related question: Is there any way to get BIOS setting for NUMLOCK state to |
| 66 |
be obeyed? emerge can't find a setleds or numlock package except as relates |
| 67 |
to X. Both Mandriva & openSUSE obey BIOS NUM state automatically. |
