Loongson 2F N32 stage3 is now available on gentoo mirrors

It is under experimental/mips/stages/loongson/. Like: http://mirrors.xmu.edu.cn/gentoo/experimental/mips/stages/loongson/ I should have done it long ago, just don't familiar with catalyst and catalyst lacks documentation. Thanks to leio and robbat2 for making it happen. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=330021 I have already included kernel modules in the stage3. You can find the corresponding kernel here: http://www.gentoo-cn.org/~zhangle/ If you want to build your own kernel, use the source here: http://dev.lemote.com/code/linux-loongson-community/wiki/WikiStart You also need loongson overlay. Just use layman to add it. Of course you need to emerge layman first. http://www.gentoo-cn.org/gitweb/?p=loongson.git;a=summary If you find portage ask you to downgrade packages, you can try this trick ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86 ~mips" However you need to understand that there is no guarantee that software installed in this way would work. But at least some of them will work.

Type special characters in xterm in N900

UPDATE: The build failed because of gcc's multislot USE flag(seed stage has it while catalyst can't set USE for stage3). I was on a trip so there is actually no progress for the last 5 days. Sorry. I have worked around it. Now rebuilding. First, sudo gainroot. Then run the following two commands: /home/user # gconftool-2 -s /apps/osso/xterm/key_labels -t list --list-type=string '[Tab,Esc,~,`,|,>,<]' /home/user # gconftool-2 -s /apps/osso/xterm/keys -t list --list-type=string "[Tab,Escape,asciitilde,grave,bar,greater,less]" Then restart your xterm, you will see the bottom bar looks like the one showing in the following picture: This picture shows that I am building new stage3 for Loongson 2F, N32 ABI, ;)
