Is that the latest EOS Digital Rebel that you can get for about $999

yeah. if you're a serious photo buff, i'd recommend just buying the
body (which is $899) and then picking up a lens separately (the body
takes all EOS system lenses). the lens you get with the $999 package
is, well, it's a $100 lens. <shrug>
(don't get me wrong, it's the lens i'm currently using, and it works
fine -- but i'm having serious lens lust for something better.

i've never tried to do that. gphoto2 lets you download pictures from
the compact flash card while it is still in the camera, which is all
i've ever been interested in.
if you visit an actual camera shop, it's possible you'll be able to
rent (or maybe even borrow) a 300D for a day, and see how it
actually works for you.

What's happened?
This could be for one or two reasons: |
1) X could be trying to open an IPv6 connection. If the kernel supports it,
but the module isn't loaded this cause an error. I fixed this by loading the
ipv6 kernel module (called ipv6).
2) as of OpenSSH 3.8 there is a new client option. Read
http://www.openssh.org/faq.html#3.13. Add the line suggested.
This might have nothing to do with your problem but these are the steps I had
to take to get ssh X forwarding to work.

Did the following steps but still can't "startx":
emerge ati-drivers
emerge xfree
config kernel with graphics-->ATI (Radeon) turned on
gnekernall all
I still don't see the mentioning by the card database during running xf86config.
What did miss there?

If you have an ATI Radeon 9600SE card and made it work, could you tell me
how? Recompile kernel? Download driver?
Or better if you just mail me XF86config file and I just use it.
My box is running Gentoo 2004.1 with kernel 2.6.6-rc1.

that others are using it successfully first.

I'm using rhythmbox 0.8 and it runs quite well. However, there's a
relatively long pause before a song starts and it also crashes
sometimes. Adding songs to the library, searching and sorting them works
though.

app-emulation/vmware-workstation-4.5.1 is giving me trouble.
I managed to deal with various problems with vmnet/vmmon and devfs by
creating custom files in /etc/devfs.d (which created /dev/vmnet[0-9]
and /dev/vmmon->/dev/misc/vmmon automatically). However, even after
doing all that and running vmware-config.pl, it still doesn't work --
after warning me about swapping and my kernel being too new (2.6.5
vanilla), vmware doesn't do anything when I start a virtual machine,
except start a bunch of background processes (vmware-vmx or something)
that eat nearly 100% of CPU until I kill them manually.
My machine's running ~x86, up to date as of a week or so ago. Anyone
have any idea what I'm doing wrong here?

thanks. But I'm still curious, I haven't had that many
failed compiles!
It seems to contain everything I've emerged. Is there a
flag that will
tell emerge to clean up after itself?
Check to see if 'AUTOCLEAN="yes"' is in your /etc/make.conf.
I know that it's in mine, but
I created mine a year and a half ago, so I can't remember if
it was there to begin with.
Every compile will leave a few files in /var/tmp/portage, but
it is usually only a few K.

Yes, in my experience Windows' dual-monitor with the Nvidia series is
fairly good, although it's not as flexible as X imo, and as I only use XP
for gaming I actually disabled the second screen as it wasn't useful.
There are a few games that will support dual-head mode for 3D gaming, but
I haven't really looked into that.
Not necessarily NVidia but any old 3D card and a 2nd non-3D card for the
2nd monitor.
|
Be careful with old cards and driver support. I had an old Matrox Millenium
that I couldn't get to work in dual-head mode in Windows because the driver
wouldn't support it, even though I was able to set it up in X with Xinerama
with no problems.

Not if you're using xorg-x11 or xfree. There're a few other really flaky
X implementations that can do it -- fdo Xserver comes to mind.
